Amid escalating tensions between India and Pakistan, leading Indian corporations have implemented safety measures to ensure employee well-being and business continuity.

Companies across sectors are issuing advisories, activating remote work protocols, and conducting mock drills to prepare for potential emergencies.

TCS and Wipro Issue Advisory Emails on Mock Drills

Ahead of government-planned mock drills on May 7, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) and Wipro sent advisory emails to their employees.

The advisories emphasized the importance of adhering to local administrative directives and maintaining composure during the drills.

TCS urged staff to comply with requirements as communicated by local authorities and to consult guidelines from the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA).

Wipro similarly advised its employees to follow government directives and avoid panic, cautioning against reliance on unverified information sources.

HR Departments Implement Travel Advisories and Remote Work Policies

In response to the heightened security situation, several companies have activated business continuity plans:

  • Ernst & Young (EY) India has asked its employees across offices nationwide to work from home on May 9, following heightened tensions and security alerts in several northern states amid escalating hostilities between India and Pakistan.
  • Panasonic India advised employees in border states to work from home, issuing travel advisories in line with government directives.
  • AXA Global Business Services activated remote working protocols for its staff.
  • HDFC Life recommended vigilance, particularly for locations near the border, and postponed off-site gatherings.
  • Cyient activated its business continuity plans, ensuring preparedness for any disruptions.
  • Cars24 instructed employees in the Delhi-NCR region to leave offices early to ensure safety.

Gurgaon Offices Opt for Work-from-Home Amid Security Drills

Following planned security drills and escalating India-Pakistan tensions, many Gurgaon companies chose to work from home.

Some companies offered employees the option to leave early, and a firm even asked a foreign client to shorten their visit.

Residents were asked to participate in blackout drills, and some employees felt safer staying home amid the uncertainty.

Key Takeaways

  • Employee Safety Prioritized: Companies are proactively ensuring employee safety through advisories and remote work options.
  • Business Continuity Plans Activated: Organizations are implementing contingency measures to maintain operations amid uncertainties.
  • Collaboration with Authorities: Firms are aligning with government directives to navigate the evolving security landscape effectively.
