Infosys advocates for work-life balance post Murthy's 70-hour workweek
Infosys is now sending friendly emails to employees clocking over 9.15 hours a day for five days straight, reminding them not to overdo it and to put their health first—especially while working from home.
It's all about making work-life balance a real thing, not just a buzzword.
HR will track your remote work hours closely
After rolling out its hybrid work model in November 2023 (which asks folks to come in at least 10 days a month), Infosys started tracking remote work hours more closely.
If you're logging too much time online, HR will let you know—sharing your stats and encouraging smarter ways of working.
Emails suggest taking regular breaks and shutting down after hours
The emails suggest taking regular breaks, sharing the workload, and shutting down after hours.
This approach is pretty different from co-founder Narayana Murthy's earlier "70-hour workweek" idea—which he later said was just his personal take, not company policy.
Long hours can lead to burnout and health issues
Infosys says long hours can lead to burnout and health issues.
They want everyone to feel comfortable unplugging after work and reaching out for help if things get overwhelming—because staying healthy matters as much as getting the job done.
