India is returning to normalcy after almost two years, with dipping Covid-19 cases, more vaccinations and opening up of different fronts. Along with schools, colleges and other work sectors, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) company is reportedly asking its employees to come back to their “deputed location (base branch)” by November 15, which is the coming Monday, as per reports.
Itis gradually opening up by bringing its employees back to office ending a months-long culture of working from home. While some employees at IT sectors have been working from office in the recent past, others are still attending work from their home towns.
However, this regime is about to end for India’s largest IT services provider by revenue, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS). The company is reportedly asking its employees to come back to their “deputed location (base branch)” by November 15, which is the coming Monday, as per reports.
TCS is calling its employees back to offices in preparation for its 25/25 model, which is expected to be implemented by 2025. The hybrid model mandates that only 25 per cent of the workforce will be required to work in offices at any given point of time.
Also, employees will not need to spend more than 25 per cent of their time at work. “Towards the end of CY’21, we will encourage our associates to return to offices, at least initially, before we switch to the 25/25 model. This will be done in a phased and flexible manner and will depend on respective team leaders and the requirements of each team/ project.
We are committed to the 25/ 25 model, but before transitioning to the model we need to start by getting people back to office and gradually evolve to 25/25,” TCS said in a statement to The Economic Times. The Indian software giant has a 5,28,748 strong workforce, of which only 5 per cent are currently working from offices.
An earlier statement posted on the TCS website, the company said, “As employees prepare to return to office after months of working from home, organizations must transform their workplaces to create a purpose-led and adaptable enterprise. They require a comprehensive plan for safety, security and basic health needs of employees guided by empathy, engagement and empowerment.”
“To ensure workplace safety that employees can trust, organizations will need to monitor their return-to-work readiness in real time, support data-driven decisions and communicate more effectively,” it added.
