After almost two years of remote work, India's most valuable IT company, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) reopened its doors to welcome its employees to office campuses again. According to a report by a national media (News 18), the IT giant has decided to end the work from home and requested its employees to come back to their base location by November 15 (Monday).

Now, after spending over one and half years working remotely, many companies including big IT firms such as Tata Consultancy Services or TCS, Infosys, Wipro, and others are planning return to the old normal.

With the effect of the second wave of the pandemic slowly waning and vaccination picking up, several IT companies are slowly calling employees back to their offices.

Now, as over 70% of TCS staff are fully vaccinated and more than 95% have got at least one shot, India's biggest IT service provider Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), is also planning to return to the office in a big way.

As Coronavirus cases are declining and with vaccination picking up, the world is expecting to return to normalcy again. When the pandemic started in March 2020, the entire corporate world was forced to adopt Work from Home (WFH) policy to tackle the outbreak. But, it also can't be denied that they have been quite successful in doing so.

It's no secret that employee-employer wrangle over returning to office is growing day by day. Almost two years into the Coronavirus pandemic, many big IT companies such as TCS, Infosys, Wipro, Microsoft, Amazon, and others are still continuing their work from home policy.

The Workforce and Increment Trends survey 2021 conducted by Deloitte revealed that only 40 percent organisations have finalised their return to work strategy. This means that 60% of companies surveyed are yet to devise a return policy.

It can't be denied that the COVID-19 pandemic has had a huge impact on people's lives, work, jobs, and almost every aspect of life. After the sudden outbreak of the Covid pandemic last year, hundreds of companies were forced to adopt remote work or the work from home policy to continue businesses.

IT behemoth Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), which employs more than 5 lakh people, is reportedly planning to end work from home and return to the office by December this year.
