Infosys has launched an internal campaign to enforce work-life balance, monitoring employees’ remote working hours. Staff logging more than 9.15 hours daily (five days a week) receive personalised HR emails detailing their monthly averages and urging them to stick to standard hours. The communication highlights health risks and productivity benefits, advising regular breaks, delegation, manager support, and after-hours disconnection . This initiative follows the hybrid model and return‑to‑office policy from November 2023, requiring at least ten office-days monthly. It contrasts sharply with co‑founder Narayana Murthy’s 70‑hour workweek advocacy, which he later framed as a personal choice, sparking debate over nations’ growth versus workers’ wellbeing.
