In a unique move blending compassion with company culture, Nestlé India has rolled out an employee-focused Pet Feeding Policy to support staff welcoming a new pet into their homes. The initiative is part of its broader vision to build a more inclusive and empathetic workplace.
The policy offers new pet parents a starter kit of premium Purina Petcare products, including Supercoat and Pro Plan for puppies, and Friskies and Felix for kittens. This nutritional support is complemented by ‘paw-ternity leave’—a two-day break for employees to settle in with their new furry companions.
“At Purina, we see pets as family,” said Pallavi Anand, Head of Purina Petcare India. “This policy reflects our commitment to nurturing meaningful bonds between pets and people through quality nutrition and care.”
Anurag Patnaik, Head of HR at Nestlé India, added, “This initiative makes pet adoption more accessible for our teams and strengthens our culture of care.”
With this initiative, Nestlé India continues its journey of embedding wellbeing and empathy at the heart of its employee policies—proving that the future of work may just have a wagging tail.
