Infosys wants staff to return to work after Narayana Murthy's “70-hours-a-week” formula.
Infosys Ltd., an Indian software services exporter, has requested that a portion of its workforce come back to work 10 days a month from the office. Some entry-level to mid-level workers reportedly received instructions to resume working from the office starting on November 20 and working a minimum of days.
The decision comes as part of the company’s attempts to improve its hybrid work model, at a time when corporations around the world are reversing or revising their remote working rules.
Following the uproar caused by co-founder Narayana Murthy's suggested formula of Indian youth working 70 hours a week, there is a push to return to work for a minimum number of days. The billionaire made these comments in a YouTube interview.
Unexpectedly, his remarks ran counter to the business's stated position on "full flexibility" for staff members.
Indian IT service companies are now requesting that their staff members return to their workplaces in order to compete with their international IT counterparts. Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), the competitor of Infosys, has already requested that its staff members report back to work five days a week.
