Genpact faced online backlash and issued a clarification stating they follow a 9-hour workday, not 10 as speculated.
Uncertainty and lack of trust prevail internally as employees expected official communication regarding extended working hours.
Genpact introduced a system to track productivity through 'active hours' with minor incentives, but employees feel the compensation is inadequate for the increased workload.
Other IT companies like Accenture, Infosys, and HCL are revisiting work schedules to address concerns about mental health and productivity, while Genpact's lack of leadership transparency adds to the discontent.
