IT companies in Hyderabad have adopted a wait and watch policy over work from home. Telangana Today quoted the president of Hyderabad Software Enterprise Association (HYSEA), the apex body of IT/ITeS companies in Hyderabad, K Aroll saying that currently, five percent of employees of large companies are working from office whereas, in mid-size and small companies, around 30 and 70 percent respectively are working from the office.
Earlier, these companies were thinking of increasing the percentage of employees working from the office, however, due to the Omicron threat, companies in Hyderabad might delay their plans.
After COVID-19 hit the world last year, many companies were forced to shut down their offices and work remotely. Now, after a year, people have slowly started adapting to the Work from Home culture.
Currently, almost all IT / ITES companies in Hyderabad are not only allowing their employees to work from home but also offering jobs to candidates after conducting interviews online.
