New Delhi, February 15: HCL Technologies has asked all employees who are part of Digital Foundation Services (DFS) to come to office at least three days a week beginning February 19, according to a communication by Noida-headquartered IT company. The move comes at a time when more and more tech companies are shifting to workplace-based models, insisting that employees be physically present in the office cubicles for a certain number of days every week to enhance teamwork, facilitate face-to-face interactions, and strengthen workplace culture.
