L&T Announces 1-Day Menstrual Leave For Women: Time For Other Corporates To Follow?
L&T Chairman SN Subrahmanyan, who came into the spotlight months ago for endorsing 90-hour work weeks announced that women employees in the L&T parent group will now be entitled to one day of paid menstrual leave. Women comprise roughly 9 per cent of L&T's 60,000-strong workforce. The move will benefit about 5,000 women employees at the company. The decision has largely been hailed as progressive.
