How global tech giant Infosys is battling India s COVID surge—and standing up for employees

How global tech giant Infosys is battling India’s COVID surge and standing up for employees Fortune 4 hrs ago Infosys president Ravi Kumar was trying to get global attention on vaccines last year. “Businesses can play a pivotal role in encouraging vaccine literacy and engendering vaccination trust in the workplace,” he said in a prescient December email to me. “Building and sustaining vaccine confidence has never been more important.” Five months later, Kumar is in the middle of an all-out war against COVID-19, but his tact and rhetoric remain the same. The brunt of Infosys’ 250,000 employees work in India, where rates of the virus are surging. Headlines report record-high numbers; 400,000 cases a day this week, and growing despair over a lack of vaccines, oxygen and hospital beds. It’s dire.

Benefits packages have morphed and expanded greatly over the last year; workers canceled pre-tax commuter cards, for example, and instead demand reimbursement for office chairs, standing desks and tutors to supplement homeschooling.

Mitra Kalita © Courtesy of IBM IBM s new path to a six-figure salary doesn t require a college degree There’s a formula to white-collar work: K-12 schools, then four years of college, maybe grad school and finally comes The Job. Now, as broader economic trends take hold in a pandemic economy, such pipelines are growing and pathways into work becoming even less linear. So it’s no longer school-to-work as much as school-AND-work.

Men and women are networking very differently during the pandemic

Men and women are networking very differently during the pandemic Fortune 1/20/2021 © SDI Productions/Getty Images Men Women Networking Pandemic Caili Elwell is living her best life, despite the pandemic. She runs a brand studio, just moved to Maine and is president-elect of a design networking group. She spends her days on Facebook and Instagram chatting with fellow “mompreneurs,” as she calls them.” Some turn into clients and others become friends and referrals. Her husband Douglas, on the other hand, views social media as a way to catch up with family or existing friends versus networking among strangers. For him, “Facebook is something to decompress. He’s the textbook definition of an introvert,” 29-year-old Caili Elwell says. “I consider it a form of an accomplishment if I can get someone to respond to a cold reachout. He doesn’t like doing that.”
