𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐋𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐌𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐬' 𝐖𝐞𝐝𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬: 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝟓 𝐓𝐨𝐩 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐬 At Asanify, we’ve processed 100,000+ leave applications These are the Top 5 Reasons employees take leave—and the quirks that make each one fascinating (and a little funny!). 1️⃣ "Personal Reason": The Evergreen Catch-All This is the Swiss Army knife of leave requests. Sometimes it’s errands, sometimes it’s emergencies—and sometimes, it’s just because. And you know what? That’s okay. There’s something beautiful about valuing the independence to take a break—no explanations needed. 2️⃣ "Temple Visit": A Spiritual Necessity This reason pops up more often than you’d think. In a deeply spiritual country like India, temple visits are part of life—and should be respected. Whether it’s a festival or a personal ritual, these moments remind us that work doesn’t always come first. 3️⃣ Health Issues: Spicy Food Strikes Back Health is important, but one category stands out: gastric ailments. 🔹 “Stomach pain.” 🔹 “Loose" motion. (Yes, really.) 🔹 And the pièce de résistance: “The color of my stool is black!” We Indians love our spicy food. Sometimes, work has to suffer the consequences. 4️⃣ "Weddings": A Nation Of Love In India, weddings are not just events—they’re seasons. Leave requests pour in, especially for family weddings. The best one we’ve seen? "Wedding of real sister/real cousin." We don’t know why the “real” part needs clarifying, but we admire the commitment to detail! 5️⃣ Burnout: When Honesty Wins This category is refreshingly straightforward. One request simply said: "Exhausted a lot. Personal problems. Need a break." Sometimes, employees need to hit pause—and their honesty is a reminder that mental health matters. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐓𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐬 𝐔𝐬 𝐀𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐬: 🔹 Flexibility is non-negotiable. People’s lives are complex, and work should adapt. 🔹 Trust matters. Employees should feel safe to share their real reasons—or none at all. 🔹 And humor is everywhere. Even in the mundane act of applying for leave, there’s room to laugh. So when's your next leave going to be? And what will be the reason you give?
