Infosys to encourage internal gig work

17 Oct 2022 , 07:33 AM

The second-largest IT services provider in India, Infosys Limited, has chimed in on the controversy and acknowledged that it had to let go of certain employees due to dual employment as moonlighting continues to be a hot topic in the IT industry.

However, the business has made it clear that it encourages its staff members to pursue education and “gig jobs.”

The corporation has been operating a platform named “Accelerate” to encourage its employees to learn and get involved in tasks outside the scope of their normal employment.

While explaining the company’s stance on the concept of “dual employment” and “gig opportunities” during the Q2 earnings briefing on Thursday, Infosys CEO Salil Parekh said, “We have been making sure that we have real attention to learning opportunities for our employees within the company. In general, we have always encouraged our employees to have that sort of mindset. Indeed, over the last several years, we have established within the company a platform called “Accelerate,” through which employees can look at what we internally call “gig work,” or different projects outside of their main work.
