A survey by Hyderabad Software Enterprises Association (HYSEA) on the return to office plans of IT firms for 2022 shows that nearly two-thirds of the 68 respondents want all employees back in office but in a hybrid model.
In other words, the firms are open to calling all employees back to office, from the predominant work from home (WFH) mode to which they switched in the face of the pandemic. However, the firms would like to continue with the WFH option for some days of the week.
While 65% of respondents favoured this approach — that would also require those who moved to another location in view of WFH to return to Hyderabad — 15% said they want all employees back in office on all working days. The remaining respondents said future model for them will be having only essential employees [in office] or following a role-based hybrid model.
