Infosys HR sends warning emails to employees working more than 9 hours 15 minutes; Check details
Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads What is the monitoring system? Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads India's second-largest IT services firm, Infosys , has started sending personalised warning emails to employees exceeding standard working hours—directly contradicting founder N.R. Narayana Murthy 's recent push for a 70-hour workweek. The Bengaluru-based company has introduced an automated system that flags and alerts staff working more than 9 hours and 15 minutes a day."We must work for 9.15 hours a day for five days a week, and if we overshoot this while working remotely, it prompts a trigger," an employee told The Economic Times. The company's HR department now tracks remote working hours monthly, sending detailed notifications to staff members who exceed prescribed monitoring system was introduced after Infosys adopted hybrid work arrangements for its 323,500 employees. When excessive working hours are flagged, HR sends detailed notifications outlining remote working days, total hours logged, and daily averages. As per the company's workplace policy, in effect since November 2023, employees are required to work from the office for at least 10 days each month."While we appreciate your commitment, we also believe that maintaining a healthy work-life balance is crucial for both your well-being and long-term professional success," reported ET quoting the HR communication. The emails emphasize that prioritising health and work-life balance benefits both personal wellbeing and professional policy represents a significant departure from Narayana Murthy's recent statements calling for Indians to work 70 hours weekly to accelerate economic growth. The move reflects evolving workplace norms in Indian IT sector, where employee mental health and sustainable productivity are gaining prominence over extended working India's second-largest IT firm with a workforce of around 323,500, currently mandates a minimum in-office presence of 10 days per month. Its decision to monitor remote work hours and issue cautionary emails appears to be a response to growing health concerns linked to overworking in remote CN Manjunath, a noted cardiologist and Lok Sabha member, toldThe Economic Times that one-fourth of young heart attack patients studied at his hospital from 2013 to 2018 showed no conventional risk factors but had elevated stress levels. "Stress is one thing you cannot measure in a lab," he warned, cautioning professionals against overworking in pursuit of career ambitions.

Can Taiwan really disconnect its economy From China?
China has long been Taiwan's most important trading partner, the main buyer of its exports and the place where many of its companies make their products. China is also Taiwan's greatest threat and claims that the island democracy is part of its territory. Now, Taiwan's ruling political party says it wants to do more to dismantle the commercial ties that for decades have propelled Taiwan's economic growth. President Lai Ching-te is calling for companies that make semiconductors -- Taiwan's main industry -- to stop buying from and selling to China. Lai has said Taiwanese firms, which make the majority of the world's advanced computer chips, should instead embrace a supply chain that involves only companies from democratic countries. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Los ciudadanos chilenos pueden solicitar la ciudadanía estadounidense gc programa Undo Last month, Taiwan's government told Taiwanese businesses that they would need licenses to sell products to two of China's most important tech companies: telecommunications giant Huawei and SMIC, formally the Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp. Both are key to China's drive to make its own chips. The move aligns with Washington's long-running goal of cutting off China's access to advanced chips. It also underscores how Taiwan is snared between the two superpowers. President Donald Trump is threatening to impose tariffs on Taiwan, and dozens of other U.S. trading partners, as soon as this week. Live Events Taiwan's ruling party wants to be seen in Washington as a reliable friend of the United States, "even if that means paying a short-term economic cost," said Kharis Templeman, a research fellow at the Hoover Institution, a think tank at Stanford University. But Taiwan could pay a high cost for shifting its economy away from China. For decades, almost all foreign investment by Taiwanese companies went to China. Taiwan's biggest companies, including the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., or TSMC, and electronics giant Foxconn, grew on the strength of manufacturing investments in China and sales to Chinese companies. Foxconn, which makes devices for Apple and Nvidia, produces a significant share of the world's consumer electronics at its factories in central China, where it has benefited from years of government-backed infrastructure investment. The company's founder, Terry Gou, ran for president in Taiwan in 2024. Taiwan's richest person, Barry Lam, built his fortune making laptops in China with his company, Quanta Computer. Taiwanese food and beverage conglomerate Want Want depends on China for the majority of its sales. Its founder, Tsai Eng-meng, is a vocal supporter of China's claims on Taiwan and runs pro-Beijing television stations and YouTube channels. The close ties between the two economies have been seen in Taiwan as a deterrent against China's aggression, and a way for China to exert its influence over the island. The coupling cuts both ways. Over the past decade, some Taiwanese firms have begun to reconsider their dependence on China. In 2014, when Taiwan's leaders proposed closer economic ties to China, thousands of Taiwanese people protested over fears of becoming too dependent on Beijing. The plan was ultimately shelved. The trade tensions and COVID-19 pandemic made Taiwanese businesses pull back further. Last year, just over 7% of Taiwan's new foreign investment went to China, down from over 80% in 2010. Still, analysts say completely decoupling the two economies would be difficult. China remains the largest buyer of Taiwan's exports, especially semiconductors. At the same time, Taiwan depends on political and military support from the United States to help resist pressure from Beijing. Trump has demanded that Taiwan drastically raise its own military spending and accused Taiwan of stealing the lead in semiconductor manufacturing from the United States. Officials in Taiwan have committed to a slight increase in military spending, and TSMC said it would more than double its investments in the United States to $165 billion. The sale of tech equipment to China is likely to be a continuing source of friction, and negotiation, for Taiwan in its dealings with the Trump administration. Last year, a chip made by TSMC ended up in a Huawei device despite U.S. export controls, angering officials in Washington. Taiwan's addition of Huawei and SMIC to its restricted trade list is a step toward cutting off the business that has continued to flow to China. Despite the pressures pushing Taiwan further away, there are compelling forces drawing companies to China. Howard Yuan, 36, is a manager at Superb International in Shanghai, a garment manufacturer his family founded in Taiwan and expanded to China in the 1980s. He said it would be hard to replace China's suppliers. And Ruby Chen, 32, said China was an easier place to start a business than Taiwan. For the past three years, she has run a wellness company focused on traditional Chinese medicine in Shandong, China. "It's very suitable for beginners in entrepreneurship," said Chen, who hosts boot camps for Taiwanese businesspeople who want to start companies in Shandong. "I was just a working-class girl from an ordinary family, with a bit of savings."
