No more formal dress code in Infosys!

TechnoparkToday.com(April, 2015):  Now, Infoscions can wear jeans and casual clothes all working days, instead of just Fridays.  This is a move by Infosys CEO Vishal Sikka to connect better with employees and arrest attrition.

Infosys sent an email to all employees regarding this development last week. ‘From Monday, June 1, you can flaunt your smart business casuals all week long! This was a change that many of you had voiced and requested on various platforms, so we are really excited that it is official now!’ the mail said.

Further, the company said it believed that each of its employees is empowered to make the right decision regarding dress code. Culture-wise, this move has significance considering that a majority of Infosys employees are in their twenties, fresh out of college.

Infosys CEO Vishal Sikka himself always wears a black t-short teamed with a jacket in comparison to the previous leadership who often wore Infosys monogrammed shirts for important events such as results and media interactions.
