​Financial platform ​​​T​ide rolls out flexible work policy

Business finance platform Tide has rolled out a ‘Work Outside The Office Policy’ for its global workforce to encourage work-life balance among its employees and help them save time and money spent on commuting to the office.

Under the policy, employees will get unlimited in-country remote work and flexible out-of-country remote work for 90 days in a year.

The company is also simultaneously investing in revamping all its office spaces to organise social events regularly, intending to encourage team collaboration and in-person connection.


According to the 2022 Global Talent Trends study by Mercer, the pandemic highlighted the significance of a skills-based talent model and agile work design in developing the workforce of the future, revealing that 74% of employees will join an organisation only if it offers hybrid or full-time remote work.

“As a global company that strives to cater to the diverse needs and lifestyles of our employees, giving employees the flexibility to choose the work environment that suits them is a no brainer. Whether that’s home-based to reduce commuting time, in one of our offices to collaborate with others face-to-face, overseas whilst visiting family, or a mix of all of these, it’s all about what works for them," said Liza Haskell, chief administrative officer, Tide.

The company has 350+ employees in India, most based in its Hyderabad technology centre. The firm is presently ramping up operations for a full-fledged launch in India early next year.
