According to money control, the company’s 70% of staff already back in office. Earlier it was reported that Tata Consultancy Services has asked its employees to Work from the office 5 days a week from October 1, 2023 onwards.
Chief Human Resources Officer Milind Lakkad said, “We strongly believe that they need to come to work so that the new workforce gets integrated with the larger workforce of TCS.”
“That is the only way they will learn, understand, and internalize TCS values and the TCS way,” Milind Lakkad said.
Chief Operating Officer NG Subramaniam said, “People feel that it is better to be in the office. About 70 percent of our employees have started to come to the office at this stage which is a very good thing.”
“Given the large-scale hiring that we did and the kind of attrition that we experienced…we believe that it is advisable to get everybody back to the office at this stage, which is the need of the hour for TCS,” NG Subramaniam added.
TCS has become the first IT company to deviate from the popular hybrid work policy that gained prominence after the Covid-19 pandemic.
Earlier, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) employees were working 3 days a week as per the company’s Return to Office initiative.
