Earlier, TCS asked its employees to work in the office for at least three days a week. Both the freshers and experienced professionals were asked to work according to the roster.
According to the reports of TOI, The company has started sending memos to employees who are not completing at least 12 days of work from office (WFO) in a month.
According to the Memo “You are warned and directed to start reporting to work from your office location according to the assigned roster with immediate effect.”
TCS said, “We are excited to see our campuses buzzing with energy and want all our employees to be a part of that vibrant ecosystem. A significant number of employees have joined TCS in the last two years.”
“It is important for them to experience the TCS environment to collaborate, learn, grow, and also have fun together, thus developing a stronger sense of belonging to the organisation and enabling better integration”, the company added.
TCS Earlier Step on Work from Office
The company said in an earlier mail, “Senior leaders of TCS have been working from TCS offices for a while now and our customers are also visiting TCS offices… Your respective managers will now roster you to work from the TCS office for at least 3 days a week.”
“Adherence to rostering is mandatory and will be tracked… any noncompliance will be taken seriously, and administrative measures may be applied”, the company mail added.
K Krithivasan has now said that almost 50% of employees are coming to the office thrice a week and that the company plans to take this number to 70-80%.
He said, “Our stand was very clear on the way back-to-office. We want more and more people to come to work. We place a lot of emphasis and importance on what we call the TCS culture and TCS DNA.”
“And we believe that when employees work together with their mentors and leaders they imbibe that knowledge. HR is working very hard. I think close to about 50% of folks are coming at least three days a week. We’ll take it up to 70-80%,” K Krithivasan added.
While highlighting the topic of Economic Slowdown K Krithivasan has placed his views on the same. Additionally, in the reports, he said, “I am not an economist but I do not expect it to worsen. If you look at the fundamentals of the US market, unemployment is still low despite issues like tech layoffs.”
“And as we saw in the case of Switzerland (Credit Suisse), governments will ensure that the banks don’t fail. That confidence is there”, he added.
TCS has already rolled out offers to 46,000 freshers for FY24. The company has over 6 lakh employees globally. The company’s strategy is to invest in its in-house talent and give them a chance to shine rather than spending in offering massive increments to freshers.
