No questions asked
Chetan Walunj & Aditi Bhosale-Walunj,
co-founders of fuel-delivery service Repos
Each staffer can set a personal goal and the company offers three days' paid leave in support. There's 'NoQuestions-Asked Leave' for those who accomplish work goals ahead of schedule. The cofounders lead their teams in a 90-minute meditation session every day.
Desktops only, please
Akash Jaiswal, founder and CEO, Wooble
On his first job, Jaiswal worked around the clock because, "our laptops were always with us." When he founded Wooble, which allows users to build and share portfolios digitally, he provided his team only with desktops. "So, even if there is urgent work, I cannot ask them to work from home," says Jaiswal.
Though none of his employees is married yet, Jaiswal has planned for maternity and paternity leaves, so everything goes smoothly when the time comes. Since his team consists only of 20 people for now, he knows every little detail about them, right up to which of them must cook for themselves.
The best intentions
Anand Mahurkar, founder & CEO, Findability Sciences
"I'm against pushing employees to achieve company goals. Instead, we create intentions," says Boston-based Mahurkar. "Intention inclusion happens by showing our team a life in totality." An employee was told he didn't have to resign to look after his cancer-stricken mother. Ten years on, he's still at the company. Others pursue passions such as farming.
