A ‘weekend curfew’ will also be implemented where everyone will be encouraged to avoid calls, meetings and messages on weekends and holidays. Delivering on their people priorities, OYO has increased its focus on the wellbeing of employees and is encouraging a balanced approach to work as it adapts the hybrid workplace model. Managers and leaders will power the initiatives and lead from the front to ensure employees have mandated work hours, take a personal time-out, avail annual holidays and encourage a healthy & sustainable approach to work-life balance, even while working from home.

Speaking about the recent initiatives, Dinesh Ramamurthi - Chief Human Resources Officer - OYO said, “As OYO gears up for a much-awaited resurgence, our people continue to be at the front and centre of everything we do. The COVID crisis and the resulting ‘new normal’ has made it imperative for us to introspect and take steps to ensure a healthy work-life integration. We have therefore recently launched initiatives to foster growth, happiness, wellbeing and holistic development of OYOprenuers. We have received a lot of positive feedback and appreciation from OYOpreneurs so far, and it just helps reinforce our commitment to them. Workplace culture is a shared responsibility and we will work closely with all OYOpreneurs to ensure that everyone walks the talk on these promises and that all of us feel proud of being a part of this amazing organization.”
Apart from these initiatives, OYO also launched and facilitated a host of other initiatives to build an equitable and inclusive workplace focusing on development on the professional front. These revolve around four pillars of ‘celebrating’, ‘enabling’, ‘supporting’ and ‘including’ diversity at every level. This includes rewards and recognition programs like ‘Front Runners’, employee initiatives like ‘The CEO Club’, and ‘OYO Privy League 2.0’. OYO also launched OYO Women’s Network, a platform for members to seek or share career advice, build a network with women leaders inside and outside OYO and drive each other’s professional and personal growth.
