Infosys: Work-from-Office Mandate to be Implemented for These Employees

Infosys, one of India’s leading IT firms, has decided to enforce stricter work-from-office rules by leveraging system interventions. According to a news report, the company has directed its technology team to ensure compliance with its hybrid work model, requiring employees to be present in the office for a minimum of 10 days per month.

System Intervention to Limit Work-from-Home Approvals

Beginning March 10, 2025, Infosys will introduce automated system interventions to regulate work-from-home requests. These measures will ensure that employees adhere to the new mandate while retaining a degree of flexibility. The system will no longer approve work-from-home requests by default, requiring employees to punch in at least 10 days a month through the company’s attendance tracking mobile app.

Targeted Employee Levels

The latest directive reportedly applies to employees at Job Level 5 (JL5) and below, covering roles such as:

• Team leaders
• Software engineers
• Senior engineers
• System engineers
• Consultants

On the other hand, employees at Job Level 6 (JL6) and above, which include managers, senior managers, delivery managers, and senior delivery managers, have not been explicitly mentioned in this directive. However, vice presidents and higher-level executives remain exempt from this requirement.

Maintaining Hybrid Work with Greater Oversight

The Infosys hybrid work model allows for a blend of remote and in-office work. The recent decision appears to be aimed at increasing office attendance while maintaining flexibility for employees. The email cited in the report emphasised that employees must adhere to a minimum of 10 office days per month or as per business requirements, whichever is higher.

Conclusion

With Infosys taking the lead in implementing structured work-from-office guidelines, it remains to be seen how other IT firms will adapt their hybrid work policies in response to evolving workplace dynamics.
