At the time of exit, selected eligible employees with gold-standard service record and exceptional contribution to the Bank\u2019s growth would be awarded an \u2018AU Forever Pass\u2019 membership that gives candidates an assured opportunity to join back AU SFB whenever they wish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking on the purpose behind introducing these revolutionary employee centric initiatives, Mr. Sanjay Agarwal, MD & CEO,  AU Small Finance Bank,<\/strong> said, \u201cUnder our ethos of \u2018badlaav\u2019 we are working towards bringing progressive changes within our organisation to make it more supportive and inclusive for everyone. The culture of a workplace can only be regarded as fully inclusive if it appreciates the needs of its varied workforce including women and even exiting employees. Employee-centric policies, such as the Menstrual Leaves can pave the way towards building a friendly professional environment for women seeking to enter the workforce, through sensitising the organisation. Similarly, \u2018AU Forever Pass\u2019 is introduced to honour the contribution of our employees who leave our organization due to personal exigencies or professional aspirations. In this journey of \u2018badlaav\u2019, we will continue to march ahead holding hands with all our employees.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
