“Inclusion to me means considering everyone as an individual and ensuring that all are treated as equals with respect. This ensures that everyone always gives their best as they all enjoy the same rights, opportunities and resources.

Here at Bristlecone, they pay special attention to Diversity and Inclusion. I specifically appreciate the Maternity Benefits facilities and support extended by the company.

Over and above the mandatory 26 weeks leave, the company also provides ‘Work from home’ facility till the child turns 1 year. The company recently also introduced the M-Buddy programme, which is an employee-led programme that allows expecting mothers to connect with other mothers who have experienced the Bristlecone’s maternity benefits to discuss maternity policies, return to work policies, motherhood, work-life balance and other such topics – this ensures a comfortable work environment.”
