Wipro Staff, All Set To Work From Home

The popular concept 'Teleworking' is now catching up in the Indian corporate scenario. Wipro, an IT engineering service provider, is expecting that 30 percent of its employees shall prefer working from home in the near future. This would mean a reduction in the use of office resources, like office space, power and water which are spent during the office hours of an employee. The company has been positive about this system since a long time, whereby 1, 100 of its employees are teleworking in Bangalore while in Chennai it touches 100. However, there are challenges in the execution of this model, as the mindset of the employees is yet to be moulded to achieve better co-ordination and without any apprehension regarding the salary factor. Also, the effectiveness of the system has to be proved to the clients, to ensure permission from them for those working on customer projects as security-related issues are to be handled. But the company is positive as Mr. Laxman K Badiga, Wipro’s Chief Information Office said, "At present, there is a secured virtual private network. People working in service functions like administration, accounting and HR are allowed to work from home. The right technology should alienate customers' concern on security with regard to their projects."
