Wipro Tightens Hybrid Work Policy
Wipro, a big tech company, has changed its rules about working from home and the office.
Now, employees must be in the office for at least six hours on the days they are supposed to come in.
They have to come to the office three days a week.
If they don't stay for six hours, they might lose some of their leave time.
The rest of their workday can be done from home.
Wipro says this change is to help teams work better together.
The company's stock price went up a little after this news.
Wipro revised its hybrid work policy to require employees to be in the office for at least six hours on designated work-from-office days, effective January 1, 2026.
Employees are expected to work from the office three days a week, with the remaining hours completed from home.
Failure to meet the six-hour requirement on required office days may result in half a day's leave being deducted.
Wipro's standard working day remains 9.5 hours, with the six-hour rule applying only to time spent on campus on official work days.
The policy change was communicated internally, emphasizing support for hybrid work while stressing the need for greater consistency and collaboration.
