Key Points

Several IT services companies are not strictly enforcing the mandate for employees to work from the office for a minimum of 2-3 days a week..

While firms like Infosys, HCL, and Cognizant have implemented the policy, employees say that managers are prioritizing deliverables and upskilling rather than requiring their teams to work from the office premises, a TOI report stated...

At HCL, a woman employee based in Chennai has been permitted to work from Bengaluru due to childcare reasons..

Her manager has not insisted on her working from the Bengaluru office, despite HCL's directive for employees to come to the office three times a week...

Another Infosys employee reveals that his manager has approved remote work since most of the work is done during late evening hours.. Infosys had planned a phased return to the office, with employees required to come to the office twice a week last year..
