As India unlocks, the corporate sector is gearing up to return to the offices after nearly two years of remote work.
Recently, a survey conducted by the IT industry apex body, NASSCOM stated that both employees and employers are equally interested in making a comeback to the workplace. However, the comeback to office will preferably be on a hybrid schedule involving both work from home and office.
The report titled ‘NASSCOM Return to Workplace Survey’ showed that almost 50% of the workforce in India might return to offices for up to three days a week starting next year.
However, the report mentioned that employees under the age of 25 are most interested in returning to the workplace followed by above-40 age groups. Beside that, female techies are equally interested in returning to the workplace and adapting to new working models.
The survey findings showed that about 72% of organizations are looking at up to 50% of their workforce returning to office starting next year itself.
Meanwhile, it is to be noted that IT companies such as TCS, Infosys, Wipro, and others already have started calling back their senior associates to the office desks at least twice a week.
Speaking on the matter, Nasscom President, Debjani Ghosh said that the industry is now looking at perfecting a hybrid operating model which brings in the best of both onsite and remote operating models.
