What could be possibly the first time in the country, HarperCollins Publishers India (HCI) will be granting "pawternity leave" to its employees. Starting this year, the publishing company’s employees will now be able to avail five-day paid leave if they adopt a pet. Apart from providing this bonding time, the company has also allowed its employees to get their pets to work. What more, they even have a designated area for the pets at their Noida office. The idea is to give the pet adopting parent a time to understand and bond with the pet and also encourage responsible adoption. The move by HCI is an attempt to ensure a better -life balance for employees and showcase the progressiveness of the Human Resources (HR) department in making HCI into an employee-friendly company
