While we ordered from the safety of our homes, there were thousands of delivery executives who went beyond their call of duty during the pandemic. How did the workforce in the supply chain and logistics teams get mobilised during the Covid years? What is their future ahead and will quicker delivery put them at risk? Flipkart's chief people officer Krishna Raghavan explains in this episode of The Working Life on the road ahead for its last-mile delivery workforce.

S3E14 | How is Flipkart mobilising last mile delivery executives?

In the last three years, the relationship between an employer and an employee can at best be described as - mercurial. In the first two years of the pandemic, we tip-toed into each other’s private spaces and soon the office and the home shared the same room. Healthcare benefits, leave and employee engagement policies were overhauled as Covid raged. But once markets opened up, the equations became testy. Employees swiftly changed their loyalties and companies outmanoeuvred one another to retain talent. Then again, the tide turned as global markets and war put brakes on all future plans. Now, the employer had the upper hand and what followed was a series of layoffs, freezing of perks and hushed anxiety enveloping the office corridors. Over the next few episodes of The Working Life, We will talk to HR heads, compensation specialists, diversity experts and employees about how the relationship with our workplaces has changed. And will try to find out how companies are redrawing every strategy to retain their best talent and attract the new crop of young workforce who have a whole different expectation from their jobs.
