Tech Industry Finds It Difficult To Sustain Work From Home.

The working models of companies have not changed much since the pandemic. Many companies select office-first or remote-friendly options for their employees, while others offer partly remote hybrid, remote-first hybrid, partly remote hybrid, flexible hybrid, choose-your-own-adventure hybrid, and full remote models. There are pros and cons to each of them.

Meanwhile, Indian IT companies are still figuring out working models that work for them and their employees, in spite of rising attrition.

“As of now, over 50% of our people are coming to office regularly, and we see these numbers going up gradually to 70-75%,” added Happiest Minds Technologies, chief people officer and vice president.

Other Indian IT giants, including Infosys, Wipro, TCS, and Tech Mahindra, more or less are following a hybrid approach.

As per the latest survey by TeamLease, 58% of companies ranging from tech to manufacturing, FMCG, BFSI, retail, healthcare, and automobile believe that 2022 is the year the working model will become completely in-office. However, the same report also said that about 5% of companies intend to stay in a virtual-only organization for the near future.

On the employee side of things, 43.46% of employees want to return to work, and 76.78% of organizations want to give their employees the preference to choose their work model.
