At Ola, the well-being of our employees is not just a priority—it is a foundational value that guides our decisions and policies. We recognise that when employees feel supported in all aspects of their lives, their ability to perform, innovate, and thrive improves significantly. This belief in fostering a balanced, fulfilling work environment is the driving force behind the initiatives we take as a company. We understand that even the smallest adjustments to work practices can have a profound and lasting impact on the personal and professional lives of our employees.

In keeping with this commitment, we are proud to introduce flexible working hours in addition to remote work model, giving our employees the freedom to design their own schedules. This means that whether they prefer to start early and finish early, or begin later and work into the evening according to their connivences. We believe this will help them plan their own schedules before or after the working hours.  

Furthermore, we are offering substitutional working days. This innovative approach allows employees to work on their designated off days in exchange for taking time off during regular working days, providing an additional layer of flexibility for those who need to adjust their schedules for personal reasons.

At Ola, we believe that by introducing these options, we are making a meaningful investment in our employees’ happiness and well-being. We know that when employees have the freedom to manage their work in ways that suit their individual needs, they are better positioned to contribute creatively, focus on their tasks, and bring their best selves to the workplace.

However, it is crucial to highlight that while these adjustments are designed to benefit our employees, they must also align with the company’s operational needs. Our goal is to create a working environment that supports both the success of our employees and the ongoing growth of Ola as a whole. As such, any changes or policies we introduce will always aim to have a positive, balanced impact on both parties, ensuring that neither side experiences undue strain or disadvantage.

Ola is also committed to maintaining an open dialogue with our employees. We encourage feedback and suggestions that can contribute to creating a more dynamic and supportive work culture. If an idea presents itself that offers mutual benefits without compromising the interests of the company or its employees, we will gladly embrace it. In fact, we are eager to lead in adopting progressive changes that enhance the workplace experience.

We strongly believe that by working together and embracing these new flexible work practices, Ola can continue to grow as a company while ensuring that our employees lead fulfilling, balanced lives both inside and outside of work.
