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).
The IT behemoth has taken the decision as the daily Covid-19 cases are slowly declining in the country. However, reports suggest that the IT behemoth will bring its employees back to offices in a phased and flexible manner, depending on the requirements of each team. Earlier, the IT giant said that it would ask employees to return to the deputed branches at least initially, before implementing its ambitious 25/25 model.
Under the 25/25 model, only 25 percent of the workforce will be required to work in offices, the rest will be allowed to work from home. Earlier in October, TCS executive vice president and global head of human resources, Milind Lakkad said that the company will call back its employees to their office desks as about 70% of the staff and their families have been fully vaccinated and around 95% have received at least the first dose of Covid-19 vaccine.
Speaking about the same, TCS COO NG Subramaniam said in October that the company is now planning to get at least 80-85% of its employees back to the office. Hinging at which category of employees will be asked to return initially; the top official had said that the company will encourage employees at senior level and those fully vaccinated to come to campuses.
