Tata Consultancy Services will likely end hybrid work from October 1, as per an internal mail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"TCS<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

So what is it precisely?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to that, it asked its workforce to attend office five days a week, indicating a change in its work-from-home policy the IT sector has employed thus far. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Managers in various divisions have reportedly <\/a>been obliquely telling employees to come in to office five times a week<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the company will maintain flexibility\/hybrid policies and make exceptions as necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mandatory office 5x a week<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite this there are emails indicating otherwise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An internal email accessed by CNBC-TV18 said, “As communicated by CEO and chief human resources officer (CHRO) in various townhalls, it is mandatory for all associates to attend office on all the working days (5 days per week if there are no holidays) starting 1 October 2023.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The email has not gone out to all teams, and is being staggered, according to sources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TCS stated the company is in the “silent period at the moment.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where did <\/strong>25 X 25 vision<\/strong><\/a> go?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

All of this goes against former TCS CEO Rajesh Gopinathan’s 25 X 25 vision<\/a>, which he announced in 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to this by 2025, only 25 percent of its associates will need to work out of facilities at any point of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, the employees will not need to spend more than 25 percent of their time at work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cReset the domestic arrangements\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The firm had previously received criticism after Chief Human Resources Officer Milind Lakkad said attrition of women was higher when compared to men in FY23.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHistorically, women\u2019s attrition at TCS has been similar or lower than men\u2019s attrition, so this is unusual. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There might be other reasons but intuitively, I would think working from home during the pandemic reset the domestic arrangements for some women, keeping them from returning to office even after everything normalised,\u201d Lakkad said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
