'Give us your electricity bill', this is what Narayana Murthy's Infosys asked from 3 lakh employees
New Delhi. India's second largest IT company Infosys has asked a strange thing from its employees. Narayana Murthy's company sent an email to more than 3 lakh of its employees and asked them to share the electricity bill (Infosys asks employees for electricity).
Jagran Business contacted an Infosys employee in this regard. The employee said, "Yes, it is true that the company has sent an email to all the employees asking for the electricity bill. I have also received the email."
It is mandatory to come to office only 10 days in a month
As part of Infosys' hybrid work policy, employees spend most of their time working from home and are required to be in the office for at least 10 days a month. That means if you work in Infosys then you need to come to office only 10 days in a month. You can work from home the rest of the day.
CFO wrote this in the email
In the email, the CFO wrote, "With hybrid work becoming an integral part of our operations, the environmental impact of our work has increasingly extended beyond our campuses and into our homes. The electricity consumed while working from home also contributes to Infosys' greenhouse gas emissions footprint. As we look to enhance and update our reporting methodology, obtaining accurate data on the current energy use of working from home is essential to our ongoing efforts.
The survey also asked employees to report on home electrical appliances, fan and air-conditioner usage, lighting wattage and whether they have access to solar energy, and encouraged them to share energy-saving ideas they implemented at home. According to the company, this exercise will help update its emissions reporting and support targeted energy-efficiency interventions.
