Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), India’s largest IT services company, has directed employees working on specific projects to return to the office for five days a week starting next month, a shift from the earlier three-day model. TCS, currently in its silent period ahead of announcing second-quarter results on October 11, had been emphasizing the return to office, citing drawbacks in aspects like collaboration and team building during remote work. The move comes amidst a broader discussion on the future of work arrangements, with some experts suggesting that permanent hybrid or extended work-from-home models may have inherent inefficiencies for large-scale adoption.
