If an employee fails to meet the three-day requirement, the management will deduct a day of leave for each day missed in the office.

In an email sent by Wipro’s Chief Human Resources Officer, Saurabh Govil, the company emphasized the benefits of in-person collaboration. Face-to-face interactions enhance teamwork, creativity, and overall productivity. 

By requiring employees to spend more time in the office, Wipro aims to create a conducive work environment that balances remote work flexibility with the advantages of physical presence.
