HCL Tech tells staff to return to offices starting from at least one day a week
By MYBRANDBOOK
Complete work from home brings potential challenge to the growth and performance of the companies and now the bubble getting busted, as many software companies announced recently. HCL Technologies is arranging for employees' return to offices and is encouraging them to start coming to the office for at least one day a week.
"We're telling employees to come at least once in a week, and probably by December, you can do one or two days in a week," Chief Human Resources Officer Apparao VV said.
COVID-19 may still be looming large but HCL Technologies believes it has the right tools in place to help its employees come back to offices-one day a week at a time.
Now, almost 7 months post the nationwide lockdown, HCL Tech has announced to start in-office operations, starting with one day a week at a time.
As of now, the giant is functioning with only 6-7% staff in office at a time but it hopes to pull this number to about 20% by December.
HCL is only allowing a set of employees to attend the work-centres.
# Employees with children below the age of five,
# Employees with parents over 50 years of age living with them, and
# Employees who are of 50-55 years of age
Are exempted to join office and are asked to work from home, as of now.
In-Office Meal Arrangements
HCL Tech has taken all the precautions for their employees returning to office centres.
In order to ensure a distance of at least 3 feet between each employee, the company has removed chairs between them.
“We won’t be leaving anything to chance,” said Apparao.
Employees are asked to log in and share their preferences about food and meals, a night before the office so that food vendors may be informed well in advance.
Due to the pandemic, only vendors will provide the food. The options may be a little limited, but it’s a necessary precaution.
