For the last 24 hours, there has been a discussion everywhere on social media platforms about the online beauty salon Yes Madam that the company has fired 100 employees only because these employees had admitted to being stressed due to work in the company's survey. But now this matter turned out to be a PR stunt of the company itself.

What was the whole matter?

Let us tell you from the beginning. Yesterday morning, an employee of the company posted an alleged email from the company's HR on the online professional platform LinkedIn and claimed that the company had fired him and 100 other employees. Because they had admitted to being stressed in the company's survey. This user named anushka Dutta also shared an alleged mail from the company's HR in the post which said that "We conducted a survey to find out the stress at the workplace. Keeping your concerns in mind and to ensure a healthy work environment, we have decided to separate those employees who spoke of their stress. This step will be implemented with immediate effect."

The company gave this answer

Discussion of Toxic Workculture started everywhere on social media and people criticized this alleged step of Yes Madam and started demanding a law regarding this in India. But, today the company Yes Madam, which came under question, issued an official answer and called this entire incident its marketing campaign and claimed that it did all this so that people take work stress seriously.

Happy 2 Heal started

If it was just about public awareness, what would have been the point. In its official reply, the company said that it has started a corporate program to reduce work stress, named "Happy 2 Heal". Under this, employees of companies associated with Yes Madam will be given head massage and spa in the office itself, so that their stress is reduced and they also become more agile at work. Not only this, Yes Madam also said that from now on, employees in its company will get 6 holidays every year if they are stressed. Along with this, its employees will also get a free spa session at home.
