A memo has been circulated to employees outlining the new guidelines and setting a deadline of february 19 for compliance.
The memo emphasizes that employees are expected to attend their assigned offices and work in-house for a minimum of three days per week. Managers have been instructed to upload employee roster details onto the company portal. Notably, freshers undergoing training are mandated to be present in the office for the entire workweek.
The move reflects a shift in the company's stance, highlighting a departure from the extended work-from-home arrangements that became prevalent during the COVID-19 pandemic.

This shift in policy aligns with a broader trend in the tech industry, where companies are gradually moving away from remote work models. Despite the productivity gains observed during the remote work era, some organizations are emphasizing the importance of in-person collaboration and the preservation of workplace culture. The decision by HCL Technologies is in line with this industry trend and the evolving expectations around remote work.
