The company is currently operating with around 5% to 6% of its staff in office. By December, they hope to bring the overall number up to 20%. Not everyone is being asked to come back to work HCL Tech may be looking to get its offices hustling with activity again, but they’re not asking everyone to come back to work. Employees who have children below the age of five, or parents older than 50 years old can continue to work from home. And employees who are older than 50 to 55 years are also exempt. Apparao explained that this plan will be implemented in phases. And, on no given day will any of the company's development centres exceed 20% capacity. Floor marshalls and pre-ordered meals In preparation for people returning to work, HCL Tech has removed chairs to ensure that at least 3 feet of distance is maintained. Common rooms are getting cleaned up, cabs are being arranged and even ‘floor marshalls’ have been designated to ensure enforcement of discipline. “We won’t be leaving anything to chance,” said Apparao. Even when it comes to eating food, employees have to log in the previous night, and share their preferences. Because of the pandemic, only vendors will provide the food. The options may be a little limited, but it’s a necessary precaution. HCL Tech is also looking to hire ‘<a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/careers/news/hcl-to-hire-more-jobs-and-increase-wages-over-next-three-months-9000-more-freshers-to-be-onboarded-by-march/articleshow/78696285.cms">significantly</a>’ over the next three months with the aim of onboarding another 9,000 freshers by the end of March. In October, the company started to dole out wage hikes as well. “Wage hikes were only deferred by one quarter from the company’s regular increment cycle,” said <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/business/corporates/news/hcl-tech-beats-guidance-clocks-in-4-5-jump-in-revenue-during-second-quarter/articleshow/78693542.cms">CEO C Vijayakumar</a>, during the second-quarter earnings call.

<ul><li>HCL Technologies is rolling our wage increments starting October for junior employees and January next year for senior employees. </li><li>The company also plans to hire aggressively over the next six months at both lateral and fresher levels.</li><li>The Indian IT services behemoth hopes to achieve its target of adding 12,000 freshers to its roster this fiscal, by onboarding 9,000 in the second half.</li></ul>HCL Technologies is set to bring back wage hikes for its employees starting October and plans to hire ‘significantly’ over the next three months — and continue that momentum till March 2021. <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="78693542" title="HCL Tech beats guidance — clocks-in 4.5% jump in revenue during second quarter" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div> “We expect a large number of recruitments to happen before December,” said HCL’s Chief Human Resources Officer (CHRO) Apparao VV. “It is much much more than the initial two quarters.” This includes both freshers and lateral hires. Increments have also started rolling out from October 1 for junior-level employees, and will be effective for senior-level employees starting January 1, 2021. “Wages hikes were only deferred by one quarter from the company’s regular increment cycle,” said CEO C Vijayakumar Apparao added that the increments will be in line with what was doled out last year. The average numbers last year were 6% at offshore and 2.5% onsite. HCL wants to hire 12,000 freshers this year By March 2021, <keyword id="141968" type="CITY" weightage="20" keywordseo="HCL-Tech">HCL Tech</keyword> plans to have a total of 12,000 freshers on board. This is a step up from last year when the company added around 8,100 freshers overall. In the second quarter, HCL Tech added an overall 2,798 employees to its roster between July and September, of which 1,578 were freshers. “This is lower than what we anticipated because of COVID-19 situation and the low availability of people,” said Apparao. In the first quarter, the number of freshers added was around 1,200. Many students in line with offer letters were not onboarded yet since their final exams were postponed during the lockdown. Nonetheless, it still means there’s still a deficit of around 9,000 freshers before HCL Tech can meet its target. Yesterday, the Forbes fourth annual list of the ‘Forbes best employers’ ranked HCL Tech as the 30th best employer globally in 2020. This puts it among the top multinationals headquartered in India for employees. Vijayakumar lauded the company’s employees for being one of the five primary factors that led to the IT services behemoth’s growth despite the impact of COVID-19.

Of this, 3,000 candidates will be hired in Noida — including nearly 1,000 highschool passouts. The IT major is looking to deploy highschool passouts, fresh graduates and postgraduates — including freshers without an engineering background. The company had recently launched a year long work-integrated program to train entry-level hires called — <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/highschool-passouts-will-be-now-groomed-for-it-jobs-in-india/articleshow/69592019.cms">Tech Bee</a> — along with a stipend amount. Highschool passouts will have to clear an entrance test and undergo a paid training program for entry-level roles. “We are charging a nominal fee for the training to ensure that there is 100% commitment and accountability on the part of candidates,” Sanjay Gupta, Executive Vice-President, HCL Technologies told ET. The company has hired nearly 500 freshers on an early stipend of ₹10,000 per month after it launched its training programme. Work-integrated programmes train freshers in technical skills including coding, software skills, and R&amp;D. IBM also launched its ‘New Collar’ career initiative on similar lines, which does not require college certification, <a href="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/trend-tracking/for-many-entry-level-jobs-tech-companies-are-hiring-teens/articleshow/69951607.cms">TOI reported</a>. The programme trains applicants in digital technologies like artificial intelligence , machine learning and big data tools.
