Infosys gets stricter on return-to-office; mandates all employees work from office thrice a week

Infosys Work from Office: Months after mandating a section of its employees including mid-level managers and project leads, to work from the office, Indian IT giant Infosys has now further tightened the work-from-office requirements.

In a new internal memo, all employees have been instructed to return to the office and work for at least three days a week.

“Please start coming to the office at least 3 days a week. It will become mandatory very shortly,” an email sent to employees from the vertical heads of the Bengaluru-based software company read.

Earlier, Infosys CEO Salil Parekh said that Infosys was ‘flexible’ when it comes to remote work.

“There are some instances, for example, with specific client work or a specific type of engagement where we feel it’s better that everyone is working together. But in general, our view is we want to support this flexible approach. It’s something that we believe is appropriate given how we’ve set up the work-from-home infrastructure," Parekh said.

Infosys reported 3% year-on-year (YoY) rise in net profit at Rs 6,212 crore for the September quarter compared with Rs 6,026 crore in the year ago quarter. Its revenue in September quarter rose 6.7% to Rs 38,994 crore in Q2 against Rs 36,538 crore in the corresponding quarter of the last year.
