According to TOI report, an American technology company, Dell Technologies has updated its Return to Office policy and mandates three days a week work from office.
The company is updating its Return To Office policy with most workers working from a corporate office for at least 39 days per quarter bringing it to three days work week. However, employees below a certain salary level can work remotely full-time but it will be affecting the employee’s career.
The report does claim that older employees with established community ties may be less inclined to return to office because they would prefer not to take long commutes or to change living arrangements to meet corporate demands.
The report also suggested that the offices in the new locations are too small and serviced offices with no way of tracking employees coming.
Recently, Ernst & Young (EY) has started tracking office attendance amid employees defying return to office mandates in the UK.
EY is currently operating with a twice-work-a-week, hybrid working model. However, the report also suggested that at least 50% of some teams are flouting this rule.
However, EY has yet to comment on the Work from office policies.
This follows when recently, IBM asked its employees in the US to return to the office, or client location immediately at least three days a week.
This policy applies to all U.S. executives and people managers, regardless of current work location status. The employees must immediately begin working from a client location or an IBM office at least three days each week.
IBM employees who are working remotely in the military service or with medical issues, and don’t live close enough to commute to work have been asked to relocate to an area closest to a company office in the US by August 1, 2024.
Infosys said it won’t force employees to Return to Office but the company has implemented a roster system to ensure adequate seating capacity.
Other Tech companies have also ended Work From Home and started calling their employees to Work From Office. The Tech companies in India, including Wipro, TCS, HCLTech, and Infosys have already ended work from home.
Tata Consultancy Services asked employees to work from the office 5 days a week, however, currently 65% of employees work from the office 3-5 days a week.
