Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), India’s largest IT firm, has said it will reduce its global workforce by around 2% in the next year. The move is part of the plan to make the company more modern and future-ready.
TCS stated that it is undertaking some significant changes to enhance the way it operates. They are:
- Investing in emerging and new technologies
- Growing operations to new countries and geographies
- Embracing artificial intelligence (AI) more extensively
- Redefining the way its employees and systems operate
Due to these reforms, TCS states that it will have to retire some employees whose jobs are redundant. The majority of these layoffs will be at the middle and senior ranks. With more than 600,000 (6 lakh) staff members, this translates to an estimated 12,000 individuals who might lose their positions.
The company said it is trying to handle this carefully and respectfully. TCS promised to support those affected by:
- Offering benefits and help with finding new jobs
- Providing counseling and emotional support
- Giving training to help them move into new roles
The company also said that these changes will not affect how it delivers services to clients. It is working hard to keep everything running smoothly while making these updates.
TCS is also assisting existing employees in acquiring new skills. Reskilling and training programs have already begun in the company. These programs are designed to equip employees to prepare for future labor needs, particularly as AI and emerging technologies become more significant.
These modifications are made at a time when most technology companies globally are also transforming how they operate. More businesses are concentrating on digital capabilities, artificial intelligence, and operating more productively.
Though this is a challenging period for most employees, TCS asserts that it is making this in order to remain robust and competitive in the future.
