India Inc Rolls Out WFH, Flexible Hours and Safety Measures Amid Rising Heatwave

/ Human Resource Community

With severe heatwave conditions sweeping across India, companies are reshaping workplace policies to protect employees and maintain productivity. Businesses across sectors are introducing work-from-home options, shorter office hours, hydration support, and safety measures for staff working indoors and outdoors. Firms such as Mercedes-Benz, NoBroker.com, and Savills India have allowed remote work where possible, while logistics and delivery companies are focusing on frontline worker welfare. Blinkit, operated by Eternal Group, is installing air coolers, fans, benches, and water dispensers at dark stores, while also distributing over 1.5 lakh glucose sachets daily to delivery partners. According to staffing firm CIEL HR, many companies are combining hybrid work models with reduced office timings. Businesses in retail, staffing, and logistics are also increasing workforce deployment and expanding dark store networks to shorten travel distances for delivery staff. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has warned that heatwave conditions are likely to continue between April and June, with above-normal temperatures expected in many regions. Mercedes-Benz India said it is promoting remote work wherever feasible and offering cold beverages in cafeterias to help employees stay hydrated. Construction firm KEC has restricted outdoor work between 11 am and 3 pm at most sites and is supplying cold water, buttermilk, ORS, and glucose drinks, along with temperature monitoring using thermal guns. Myntra has upgraded office cooling systems with smart thermal sensors and introduced hydration options such as buttermilk, coconut water, and lime drinks. Savills India has launched employee awareness campaigns on heat-related illnesses and wellness while continuing flexible work arrangements. NoBroker.com has reduced outdoor work schedules during peak heat hours for field employees and introduced additional cooling refreshments and travel flexibility for office staff.
