Infosys Promotes Work-Life Balance; Contrasts with Murthy's Views
Infosys, a large tech company, wants its employees to have a better balance between work and their personal lives.
They're tracking how long employees work, especially when they work from home.
If someone works too much, they get an email reminding them to take breaks and stay healthy.
This is happening after Narayana Murthy, who helped start the company, said people should work more.
The company is trying to balance employee wellness with Murthy's vision and others like L&T's Chairman suggestions.
Infosys monitors employee work hours to promote work-life balance.
Employees working over 9.15 hours a day, 5 days a week receive emails.
Emails provide summaries of work activity and advise on rest and breaks.
The initiative follows co-founder Narayana Murthy's call for longer work hours.
L&T Chairman's 90-hour workweek suggestion also spurred debate.
