This IT Company Asks 20,000 Employees To Choose Their Work Place: Office Or Home, Is Their Choice!

A digital product engineering company, GlobalLogic Inc. announced that it will allow its employees to choose to work from home or office for the next 18 months. 

Work From Home For Next 18 Months

Further adding that its operations continue to evolve and the ‘future of work’ that was envisioned and introduced earlier in the system as earlier as 2019, will now continue to be extended in order to ensure safety for its employees. 

Prior to this, the product engineering company has revised its policies as they conducted an intra-organization survey to assess what working situation will work best for employees.

It seems that GlobalLogic has revised its flexible work policy and extended the opportunity to continue the flexible hybrid model until the end of 2022 considering the growing uncertainties around the pandemic’s spread. 

Empowering Employees

Basically, this autonomous decision is expected to empower employees to decide how they want to establish efficient delivery.

Group Vice President & Head of APAC, GlobalLogic, Sumit Sood said , “At GlobalLogic we have always focused on “what” our talent does, irrespective of location. We are location agnostic and work on how we get things done for our clients. COVID proved exactly what we have believed in and have been doing, which is delivering performance, every time and from anywhere. We are now taking the next leap forward in driving the workplace of the future by listening to what our employees want. We wish to drive and offer the best employee value propositions in the industry,”.

GlobalLogic began invoking their Business Continuity Plan (BCP) response and initial transitions of employees to Work From Home (WFH) across key geographies including India, North America & Europe at the start of the pandemic in 2020. 

These transitions were also initiated across our India locations (over a week ahead of the announced National lockdown in 2020.) 

In just one week, 100% of GlobalLogic’s workforce shifted to a virtual form of working, from home or remote locations, without interruption to any client projects. 

Work From Home Among Other Peers

Other companies like TCS also announced its 25×25 model.

According to this, only 25 percent of its associates will need to work out of facilities at any point in time. 

In addition to that, the employees will not need to spend more than 25 percent of their time at work.

In the similar way, global corporations like Microsoft, Google, Facebook are providing their staffers with an option to work from remote locations permanently.
