TCS 1 1

Recently, an update said that India’s largest IT service firm Tata Consultancy services will ask a vast majority of 75% of its 4.48 lakhs employees globally to work from home, up from the industry average of 20% today. It is notable that 3.5 lakh employees of those 4.48 lakh employees belong to India. “We don’t believe that we need more than 25 % of our workforce at our facilities in order to be 100% productive” said TCS’s chief operating officer NG Subramaniam. “I think it’s sufficient that they (workers) spend 25% of their time in our offices” he said while addressing their presence in TCS all time.

No only TCS, many IT companies are looking forward to make their workers to be productive from their home post lockdown. As we don’t have a clear picture on when the Corona pandemic is going to get over, many IT firms ordered their employees to work from home at least 2 months from the day Lockdown is removed.
