Largest tech company TCS on Tuesday said attrition among its women employees has raced past the same for men, hinting that the end of work-from-home may have a role to play in it. Its chief human resources officer Milind Lakkad said that historically, the attrition among women employees who constitute over 35 per cent of the over 6 lakh-strong workforce has been lower or similar to that of men, and called the development as "unusual". "...I would think working from home during the pandemic reset the domestic arrangements for some women, keeping them from returning to office even after everything normalised," he said in an interview published in the company's annual report. Lakkad acknowledged that the higher attrition among women is a "setback" to the Tata Group company's efforts to promote gender diversity and added that the company is focusing on reversing the trend. The annual report did not reveal the exact attrition number on the basis of gender. Its overall attrition peaked

Country's largest IT services company TCS will continue investing in research and innovation, office spaces and technology infrastructure at the same pace even as it wades through near-term volatilities, a senior official has said. The company's promise to continue with the normal wage hikes will hit the operating profit margins by a further 1.70-1.75 per cent in the June quarter, its chief financial officer Samir Seksaria said, adding that the key number will stabilise going ahead into the new fiscal. He said the company typically spends Rs 1,200-1,500 crore in research and innovation and Rs 3,000-4,000 crore as capital expenditure on back-end technology needed to deliver work and office spaces, and the same should continue going ahead. "...we continue to invest, we continue to invest in talent, we continue to invest in research, into innovation, into branding and into IT. And we don't believe there should be any reason for that to be any different from what we have always done," .
