Rajeev: How is moonlighting being tackled at the company?
Karunya: At Payoda Technologies, we recognize the significance of addressing moonlighting, a challenge that can impact employee productivity and raise ethical concerns. We established transparent policies. From the very beginning, employees are introduced to our comprehensive moonlighting policies during onboarding. These policies serve as the guiding storyline, outlining expectations and limitations related to external work. We encourage monitoring and reporting of any moonlighting activities that could clash with their roles at Payoda. Our HR department operates as a discreet platform where employees can confidentially report concerns.
In a conflict resolution scenario, we act as mediators, aiming for a win-win ending. If a conflict of interest arises due to moonlighting, we work closely with the employee to find a harmonious resolution, prioritizing both their pursuits and the company's best interests. Throughout this process, continuous communication is constant. We maintain a culture of trust, fostering an environment where employees feel comfortable discussing potential conflicts or concerns with their managers or HR. Our goal is clear: to strike a balance between personal pursuits and commitment to the company while safeguarding the integrity of our work and relationships with clients.
