Infosys is advising employees not to work overtime: Sending alerts by sending emails; Narayan Murthy had advised 70-hour work

IT company Infosys is advising its employees to avoid overtime and maintain work-life balance. The company is alerting employees working longer hours during work from home by sending personal emails.

Earlier, the company’s founder Narayan Murthy had advised to work 70 hours a week. He had said – The youth have to understand that we have to work hard and work towards making India number one.

Alert will be given for working more than 9.15 hours

Infosys’ HR department is sending emails to those employees whose average working time in a day is more than 9.15 hours or 5 days per week. In these mails, it is being told how many days you did remote work, how many hours you worked in total and how many hours you worked on an average daily.

Also, the company is clearly saying that we appreciate your hard work, but work-life balance is important for your health and long professional life.

Decision taken due to hybrid work policy

Infosys has implemented hybrid work policy from November 2023, in which every employee is required to come to the office at least 10 days a month. Since then, the HR team has been tracking remote working hours.

The company believes that continuous overtime, irregular schedule and bad lifestyle are having a bad effect on the health of the employees. Therefore, now Infosys has become strict about work-life balance.
