Bizongo’s upgraded Parenthood Journey Policy will cover adoption leaves, in vitro fertilisation (IVF) leaves as well as leaves for egg freezing. The company realises that individuals undergoing these procedures require a period of recuperation and rest. Additionally, they recognise that support is required for both primary and secondary carers. Considering this, additional caregiving leaves are granted to employees whose partners are undergoing the procedures.
These leaves are in addition to the maternity and paternity leaves that employees are already enjoying. That is not all; the B2B platform—which offers embedded supply chain financing and integrated raw material purchase solutions—has set aside funds to offer financial support to employees who opt for any of these procedures.
While most organisations offer insurance-based coverage for family planning, Bizongo offers flexibility and financial support to employees who opt for the same.
This support and coverage is offered to everyone in the workforce, regardless of their marital status, gender identity, or family structure. The company is clearly committed to promoting diversity, equity and inclusion at the workplace.
These benefits are aimed at helping employees effortlessly manage their professional and parenting responsibilities simultaneously.
“At Bizongo, we believe in creating a diverse and inclusive work environment where everyone feels empowered to pursue their personal aspirations alongside their professional goals,” said Sachin Agrawal, CEO and co-founder of Bizongo.
According to him, “The parenthood journey policy aims to educate and empower employees, normalising these procedures and bringing a fresh perspective that aligns with societal progress. We, as a company, want to respect individual choices and promote a positive shift in mindsets regarding these progressive procedures.”
Bizongo recently invited Aditya Tiwari, the youngest man in India to adopt a child with special needs, to share his experiences and insights on the challenges and processes involved in child adoption. The company has also been inviting gynaecologists to address queries that employees have about egg freezing procedures.
Through these initiatives Bizongo, the vendor digitisation platform, is creating a supportive and inclusive workplace for its employees along with a culture that values individual choices and well-being.
