An increasing number of organisations now want employees to work more out of office than home. Towards this end, perks attached to work from home are being withdrawn, one by one, slowly but surely.
JPMorgan Chase & Co has called on its senior leaders to set an example for others by working from office five days a week. Goldman Sachs has been hammering down the message that it wants its workforce to show up at office all working days. Fynd resumed the five-day office week early this year.
Rahul Jain, CFO and CHRO, NTT DATA Payment Services India, says exceptions are also made in hybrid mandates. “During the recent rains in Mumbai, we allowed employees to work from home which is over and above the number of days earmarked for work from home,” says Mr. Jain.
