IT sector’s return to office will be gradual, not 100% in 2021

Information technology companies’ return to office in 2021 will be gradual with no perceptible change by end of March.

Return to Office (RTO) will peak towards the end of 2021 and will never be 100 per cent, revealed a survey by Hyderabad Software Enterprises Association (HYSEA), the apex body of IT and ITeS companies in Hyderabad.

60 per cent of the companies plan to have less than 20 per cent of their workforce operating from office by end of March 2021. But there will be significant increase of 40 per cent in Work from Office (WFO) numbers by end of June.

Nearly 75 per cent of large and very large companies are planning only 0-9 per cent employees working from office by end of March.
