Nasscom-Indeed Return to Workplace Survey

Over the last one and a half years, the way tech organizations in India have run business operations has undergone massive transformation.Q1FY2021 witnessed organizations making significant investment in hardware ranging from large-scale laptop purchases to transition of business operations, to cloud to ensure business continuity in wake of office closure resulting from COVID-19-led restrictions.

As the tech industry moved towards perfecting the distributed delivery model, a majority of organizations also instituted skilling and training of managers and supervisors to lead teams in a remote working model. While the benefits of the remote model were noted in terms of higher workforce productivity and greater flexibility for employees, risks related to data and cybersecurity mounted along with an impact on organizational culture.

With gradual re-opening already underway, 70% of tech organizations are looking at perfecting a hybrid operating model which brings in the best of both worlds ( on-site operating model and distributed/ remote operating model).

In this context, NASSCOM, along with Indeed, conducted return to workplace surveys focused on both tech employees and tech employers on their plans on return to the workplace. The report dives into the expectations, key considerations, and preparedness on both fronts for return to the workplace and further analyzes different future operating models emerging in a hybrid setup.
