Wipro, India’s fourth-largest software services company, has communicated a mandatory hybrid work policy to its employees, set to take effect on November 15.
Under this policy, employees are required to be physically present in the office for a minimum of three days each week.
Read on to find out all the details about the new hybrid working policy at Wipro!
Wipro Announces Mandatory Hybrid Working Policy for Employees
This decision mirrors similar initiatives by competitors like TCS and Infosys, who have introduced office attendance requirements, with TCS necessitating five days in the office and Infosys mandating ten office days per month.
The message, issued by Wipro’s Chief Human Resources Officer, Saurabh Govil, underscores that the objective of this change is to boost teamwork, foster face-to-face interactions, and reinforce the corporate culture of Wipro. Moneycontrol obtained a copy of the email sent by a senior Wipro executive on November 6.
Furthermore, the email articulates that this policy modification is intended to enhance communication, expedite issue resolution, support team cohesion and collaboration, and cultivate stronger working relationships among colleagues. Nevertheless, Wipro will tailor this policy in accordance with local laws, regulations, and agreements. Certain European countries may require consultation with employee representation groups to formulate specific guidelines.
Wipro Announces Consequences For Non Compliance
Additionally, Wipro has cautioned employees that consistent non-compliance with the new hybrid work policy could result in consequences starting from January 7, 2024. The email underscores the significance of accountability for the organization’s prosperity and growth.
Commencing January 7, 2024, potential consequences for failing to adhere to the policy may include a loss of trust and credibility with managers and leaders, decreased performance and work quality, heightened stress, conflicts, and dissatisfaction within teams, as well as the possibility of disciplinary actions by Wipro.
In the second quarter, Wipro experienced weaker growth compared to its counterparts, with declining profits and revenue, and a less promising Q3 outlook. Analysts anticipate that Wipro’s revenue growth for FY24 is likely to be among the lowest in the tier-1 IT services sector, alongside TCS and Infosys.
