A company in the country has offered an unconventional benefit to employees – Tinder leave.
Marketing firm Whiteline Group announced in August that from now until December, workers will be given paid time off to pursue romantic connections on the dating app.
“Our employees can use Tinder leave for dating with someone,” the company said in its LinkedIn post. It did not state the number of days allocated for such leave.
The company also covers the cost of the higher-tiered Tinder Gold and Tinder Platinum subscriptions for all employees.
These members can see who like them, match with people from all over the world and send a note with every Super Like.
The unconventional initiative was put in place to boost well- being among employees, reported 9News Australia.
The company believes being in love increases happiness and this will contribute to increased productivity, say media reports.
The initiative started after the company’s management overheard a worker saying she was “too busy” to date, reported the New York Post.
Employees who want to utilise their Tinder leave will be required to put in a week’s notice. — The Straits Times/ANN
