This is one of the most difficult decisions ever: CEO
In an interview given to Moneycontrol, Kritivasan of CEO of TCS said, ‘We are emphasizing new technology, especially AI and changes in operating models. Working methods are changing. We need to be ready for the future. We are using AI on a large scale and valuation of skills required for the future.
We have invested a lot in associates, so that they can be given opportunities for career growth and deployment. Nevertheless, there are some roles where the re-deployment has not been effective. Sorting will affect about 2% of our global workforce. This was not an easy decision and for me as a CEO it is one of the most difficult decisions ever. ‘

Sorting is not due to AI, not for skill development
Kritivasan said that to create a strong TCS, we have to take a difficult decision. In addition to the notice period-pay and aided serence package, the company will also consider increasing insurance benefits and providing outplaces opportunities for the affected employees.
CEO further said that this retrenchment is not due to AI, but to develop skill for the future. This is about the practice of deployment, not because we need fewer people.
TCS implemented a new bench policy from 12 June

They live in the form of backup and are used in the event of sudden demand from the client. However, they get salary even while not working on any project. Under the new policy, employees will have to maintain at least 225 billable days in a year.
