India’s second-largest IT firm, Infosys is looking forward to calling its employees back to the office. The company has devised a three-phase plan.
The year 2020 is remembered as the one introducing work from home idea while 2022 will mark its remembrance for work from office policies.
Infosys’ CFO Nilanjan Roy has shed some light on their phase-wise plan for the employees on Wednesday after announcing the company’s fourth-quarter results.
Roy while speaking to the media said, “In the first phase are the people who are in the home locations, which could be in the DC (Development Centre) or join the DC near their home town. We are encouraging people to come at least twice a week.”
Roy added that the employees have been asked to prep up over the next few months to see if they can come back to the centres. “This is again based on individual circumstances,” he stated.
The second phase would include people outside the towns that do not have Infosys delivery centres.
Emphasising that they are looking at a “more hybrid work model”, Roy underscored that this will depend on clients, regulatory environment and a number of other considerations. “This will be a phased approach and we are seeing it as really important,” he said.
Presently, Infosys’s majority of its workforce is working from home which is 95 per cent of its total workforce. The company is already seeing senior leaders and teams coming to offices.
The company has added nearly 22,000 employees in the fourth-quarter ending on March 31, 2022. The total headcount stood at 3,14,015 from 2,92,067 within the December 2021 quarter.
