Wipro to offer extra 30 days remote work facility: Read HR head’s email to employees
The policy has been designed around Wipro’s core values of collaboration, flexibility, inclusivity, and trust, ensuring it meets the diverse needs of its workforce while aligning with the evolving demands of the business. Employees are now allowed to request up to 30 days of remote work annually, intended for personal health needs or caregiving responsibilities for family members. To utilise this benefit, employees must obtain approval from their managers.
Wipro recently implemented a redesigned hybrid work strategy aimed at increasing flexibility while maintaining productivity and collaboration. Employees must now work three days a week from the office under the new arrangement. In an email to staff, Saurabh Govil, chief human resources officer, stated that the company’s new hybrid work policy demonstrates its dedication to employee well-being while preserving a high-performance culture.
The policy is based on Wipro’s core values of cooperation, flexibility, inclusion, and trust, ensuring that it fulfills the different needs of its workforce while keeping up with the changing demands of the business. Employees can now request up to 30 days of remote work each year for personal health reasons or to care for family members. Employees must seek management clearance before using this benefit.
The policy went into effect on October 1, 2024. Wipro’s hybrid work strategy revolves around collaboration. The company strongly believes that in-person encounters promote creativity and success. Wipro’s requirement for employees to spend three days in the office per week attempts to foster meaningful collaboration, allowing teams to work more effectively together.
These in-office days are not set; the corporation gives employees the freedom to choose the days that best meet their collaboration needs. Wipro’s policy illustrates its tolerance and attention to unique needs. By allowing employees to work remotely for caregiving or personal health reasons, the organization acknowledges that life’s unpredictability frequently need additional assistance.
This accommodation allows individuals to negotiate difficult personal issues while remaining productive and engaged in their professional jobs. This new approach is part of Wipro’s larger endeavor to foster a progressive and inclusive working climate that balances employee well-being with the needs of a changing business landscape.
