Dating App Bumble has announced another measure that might make it the best place to work in the world

It has said its 700 employees can take unlimited paid leave providing their manager approves it.

The move comes after the firm temporarily closed its offices in June for a week – just to give staff a break from stress.

Is the way we work changing?

The new leave policy was announced alongside a series of other changes, including a plan to shut the office for a week two times a year.

“It’s becoming increasingly clear that the way that we work, and need to work, has changed and our new policies are a reflection of what really matters and how we can best support our teams in both their work and life,” said Bumble president Tarek Shaukat.
