Since the Covid-19 pandemic hit the corporate sector, forcing companies to shut offices, many believed that the future of work is ‘remote’.
After nearly 2 years, big Indian IT companies such as TCS, Infosys, HCL and others are now following a hybrid work model and are gradually re-opening offices and calling back their employees to the workplaces.
The hybrid model will allow employees to work a few days from office and the remaining days from home depending upon work requirement and productivity.
IT major Wipro recently shared the details about its future model of working and said it plans to embrace a hybrid work culture for its employees.
Speaking on the company’s Investor Day on November 19, President & CHRO of Wipro, Saurabh Govil said that they believe that the hybrid model is the future of work. The top official also highlighted a research report which stated at least 73% of workers want flexible remote work to continue, while 67% are craving in-person time with the teams.
On the other side, 30% of the employees consider switching employers if requested to return to fully on-site work, the report said.
Govil further said that the module of work will be flexible to accommodate extended remote work for employees and special situations. He also informed that the company will adopt a one-team approach for employees working out of the premises, and team members working on the same project can come work from office on designated days of the week, and work from home for the remaining days.
Currently, senior leaders at Wipro, who are fully vaccinated against Covid-19 are leading the return to office and coming to office two days a week.
