Covid-19 Updates

Wipro is monitoring this evolving pandemic round-the-clock and modulating its response to best serve our employees and our clients. On April 1, 2020, Wipro and the Azim Premji Foundation committed USD 154 million to help the medical and service fraternity who're at the frontline of the battle against COVID-19, and to mitigate its wide-ranging human impact, particularly on the most disadvantaged of our society. The Press Release and a detailed action plan can be found here.

As of: 6^th July 2020

The number of COVID positive cases continue to increase globally. Several governments have announced extension of lockdown. AT Wipro, most of our employees continue to Work From Home (WFH). Our Work from Office (WFO) operations are currently less than 5%. Some of the key decisions made globally:

Employees who have been enabled to WFH and delivering their services effectively should continue it that way, they need not to come to office.
Employees for whom WFH is not possible or enabled can WFO
Employees who have been enabled to WFH but are unable to work effectively can WFO

In addition to that there are further key initiatives taken at Wipro :

Wipro has developed an internal tool (HEALTH COV-ER) which will be a one stop solution to facilitate and track employees working at office. It is expected to Go live on July 13th across India campuses. .
Wipro is also working on getting expatriates based in US to India through chartered flight.
Created Zones/partitions within ODCs, cafeteria, pantries, restrooms, cabs where employees from one zone cannot interact or mix-up with the other zone employees.

India

Number of Covid positive cases in India have significantly increased. State governments are taking situational decisions and announcing relaxations as appropriate. Currently, all our offices in India are operational with minimal number of staff. All safety measures are in place such as thermal screening, face masks, hand rubs, safe distancing at the development centers and common areas etc. The health centers at our facilities are operational round the clock. The company will implement staggered approach to return to the workplace and include fleeting intervals between phases to allow the organization and business teams to check and adjust, as desired.
