Mathrubhumi TV implements first day of period leave

Mathrubhumi group’s television division has announced a monthly extra leave privilege to its women staff during their first day of period (FOP Leave). This step has been taken in consideration of the long hectic working hours the women reporters have to put in the field.

Currently, the provision has been implemented in Mathrubhumi News and will be soon extended to its other divisions, which include Mathrubhumi online and print vertical.

About 75 women staff in the television division of Mathrubhumi group can avail of this benefit. Mathrubhumi Group has become the first media organisation to implement this policy in the state of Kerala.

M V Shreyams Kumar, Joint Managing Director, said “In a country where menstruation is very much considered a women’s issue, never to be discussed with men, our organisation felt the need to provide our women employees a supportive working environment and considerate policies.”

Mathrubhumi News, a Malayalam language news channel in Kerala, aims to professionally achieve a paradigm shift in the visual packaging of news and views.
