Tinder Leave - Gimmick or Goal?
WOULD YOU OFFER YOUR EMPLOYEES TINDER LEAVE?
A Thai marketing agency is doing just that, offering their employees time off to date, with 6-months Tinder subscriptions. So, what might be the reasoning behind this?
The wellbeing & performance connection
Research shows there is a positive correlation between employee wellbeing and company performance.
Meaningful relationships are a critical component to wellbeing levels.
This benefit recognises and acknowledges personal sacrifices may sometimes be made for professional goals.
This approach can generate a sense of care, understanding and empathy within the workplace, whilst fostering commitment & engagement levels.
It offers a fresh approach to addressing todays blurred work-life boundaries. Seeking to go with new ways of working, rather than against them.
The additional leave promotes a sense of balance and autonomy within employees, in-turn improving wellbeing levels and mitigating against burn-out.
It may address a genuine, real-life challenge their employees are facing.
Getting innovative with wellbeing & performance
Whilst this may not feasible, viable or even desirable in all environments, I love to see companies:
Getting curious about their people’s needs and challenges.
Testing innovative ways to support their people to both be their best and do their best work.
Understanding and appreciating employee’s holistic wellbeing and the impacts this may have.
Offering solutions to challenges which go beyond legal requirements and promote thriving.
Considering what’s desirable and how best to attract and retain their people.
What are your thoughts?
How else might organisations build thriving individuals who foster thriving organisations?
