Infosys Asks Entry, Mid-Level Employees To Work From Office At Least 10 Days A Month

Infosys Work From Home Update: IT major Infosys has asked its entry and mid-level employees in select verticals to come to office at least 10 days in a month, according to a report. The move comes after India’s largest IT services company Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) recently asked its employees to be present in the office on all five days a week.

According to the ET report, some employees of Infosys at the entry to mid-level positions have been informed about the same. “As we move to strengthen our return to office (RTO) approach and hybrid work model, I urge you to work from office for a minimum of 10 days in the month, starting Nov 20, 2023,” according to the report citing an email sent by one of the vice presidents to employees in the band 5 and 6 in select verticals.

The company has urged its employees in select verticals, specifically those in band-5 and 6 (which include mid-level managers, project heads, and entry-level employees), to work at least 10 days a month.

The email stated that it is applicable to “employees in India locations”.

“As we work in the hybrid landscape, it is also imperative that we further step up our physical proximity with our teams and colleagues, while also retaining the flexibility of remote work. I also wish to emphasise that in-person presence and participation of teams are critical to our work and our occupational wellbeing,” the Infosys email said, according to the ET report.

Apart from TCS and Infosys, other IT companies including Wipro, LTIMindtree and Capgemini are also encouraging their employees to return to office on a more regular basis.

In September, in an internal communication, TCS instructed its employees to be present in the office for five days each week. It reportedly plans to discontinue hybrid work.

However, the directive still maintains a three-day-a-week schedule. However, managers across different divisions were encouraging employees to attend the office on all five working days. The company will provide flexibility and hybrid policies, making exceptions as needed.
