The founder of Infosys Narayan Murthy may have advocated working for 70 hours but his own company is now optimizing this thinking. India's second largest IT company Infosys has given a new decree to its employees to focus on work-life balance. The company has clearly stated that avoid working for a long time during the work from home, as it can affect health.
Special email sent to employees
Infosys has personally sent email to all its employees and said that they should follow regular working hours. The company has implemented a system that warns on working more than 9 hours and 15 minutes. An employee said on the condition of anonymity that if the average working hours are more than normal in the last one month, then the company warns the employees by sending separate emails for it. In these emails, work-life balance has been described as necessary for the health and functionality of the employees.
Health risks increased concern
In recent times, many reports have revealed that young employees are falling victim to health problems due to long -term working. These include serious cases like heart attack. This step of Infosys has been taken in view of these dangers. The company believes that mental and physical health of employees is very important for their functionality. Therefore, now the company has forbidden its employees to work for a long time and advised them to take care of their health.
Steps are reversed by the thinking of Narayan idol
This new rule of Infosys is completely opposite to the thinking of its founder Narayan Murthy. A few months ago, Narayan Murthy said in a podcast that India's productivity is the lowest in the world and youth should work 70 hours a week for the development of the country. This statement made a lot of headlines. Later, Murthy clarified that his aim was not to give 70 hours of figure, but to emphasize hard work and dedication. On December 15, 2024, in a program of Indian Chamber of Commerce in Kolkata, Murthy again defended her statement. He said that the youth will have to work hard so that India can be made number-1 in the world. But now his company has brought a new policy in the interest of the employees, bypassing this thinking.
Old policy to come to office
Infosys, which is a company headquartered in Bengaluru, currently has around 3,23,500 employees. Earlier, the company's policy was that employees would have to work from the office at least 10 days a month. But now in the era of work from home, the company has decided to take strictness on the working hours of the employees. This step not only keeps the health of the employees in mind, but is also an attempt to improve their efficiency.
