Hyderabad: Even though the health director of the Public Health and the welfare of the family has stated that the third wave of Covid has ended and people can start working from the office, the Hyderabad IT sector ‘stepping carefully’.
Twent chairman BVR Mohan Reddy said the ‘back to the office’ (BTO) strategy would depend on how the overall ecosystem formed in the coming days.
“Cases declined but we must be careful, especially remembering what happened in the past two years.
We also have to consider that many employees have moved back to their hometown and there is still no clarity about schools that are reopened because many employees have children for Guarded at home, “he said.
Industrial sources show that most IT companies are vigilant to break the whip and make BTO mandatory because of the ongoing talent race and the fact that almost 40 percent of technicians in Hyderabad work remotely.
CEO of Zenq Murali Bollu said high friction was one of the main reasons why employers were hesitant to ask employees to return even in the hybrid model.
“There are still cases of omicron among employees so it’s too early to start a discussion,” Bullu said, adding that middle and small II companies would take the signal from Biggies.
The IT industry leader said that currently less than 5-6 percent of technicians work from offices in the city and call the rest will be a climbing task when employees are accustomed to certain ways of life.
“In the past year, IT players have employed aggressively from other countries too.
It works well because they work from home …
if the office is open and these people have to move, they might see other options,” he said.
Hyderabad Software Enterprises Association (HYSEA) President Bharani Kumar Aroll shows that the next 1-2 weeks will be important and if the number of cases dropped dramatically in April, some employees can start working from the office and the amount can even reach around 50 per cent or more in July if there is no other wave.
