Infosys to allow employees to switch job profiles using an internal platform

Infosys employees who are looking to switch their job profiles will now be able to do so using a designated internal platform, called Compass. It would make sure that the employees don’t look outside when they want to switch roles, and instead find one within the company.

Infosys is trying to digitise all its HR processes, putting an extra focus on technology so that it can enhance the experience of its employees. In the past couple of years, it has introduced a range of such initiatives using available technologies, which help its employees be more productive.

"Those who want a change from their current job profile or posting can now log on to Compass, and view a curated list of opportunities based on their skills and interests. Employees can create a humanised profile to showcase their professional achievements. Video CVs, endorsements, blogs and badges can also be shared," Richard Lobo, SVP and head-HR, Infosys, told ET.
