Sub: Mandatory resumption of work from office from Aug 01, 2021

Dear Team,

Hoping that you’re keeping well and staying safe.

This is to inform you that the management has decided to call all the associates to work from office from Aug 01, 2021.
After much contemplation of the current situation and considering the negligible cases of COVID-19 arising nowadays,
this decision has been arrived at by the management in association with the medical consultants. All employees are
expected to join back to the office on August 01, 2021.

We’ve been working from home for more than a year. The year has taught us many things like how a team functions
and communicates remotely. We’ve worked from the comfort of our home but faced many challenges on the way. Our
team faced many hurdles to deliver on the set goals as well as deliverables. We missed some deadlines due to some
communication gap that happened because of the remote nature of the team functioning. Management has looked upon
the company-wide metrics of performance working from home and that of from office pre COVID time. It was found
that associates were more productive while working from office and it showed in our performance review.

Although, we’ve been doing quite great compared to other organisations but that shouldn’t stop us from striving more.
Let’s push ourselves to achieve more goals than we did in the past year. Let us mould ourselves slowly to work from
office because in the very near future, it will be business as usual (BAU).

The call-up of associates is done based on various factors. Teams of a project are being called separately with a gap of
15 days so that the chances of transmission are very less. Keeping this in mind, we have to remain vigilant. Below are
the Standard Operating Protocols that the associate has to follow:
 The cubicle and desk of the associate is sanitized at-least three times a day.
 Associates are expected to follow social distancing norms.
 Every associate’s temperature is monitored using thermal screening cameras daily.
 Associates are required to wear masks at all times except during emergencies.
 Food counters at the cafeteria will be closed to minimize overcrowding. Associates are expected to bring food from
home.

Many of you have already raised the concern regarding the availability of vaccines. We understand that the vaccine
slots are very difficult to get and some of you have reservations with respect to joining without being vaccinated. The
management has been looking into this matter and we’re happy to announce that our organisation is providing free
vaccines to those who are yet to be vaccinated. The organisation has tied up with the Manipal Hospital, Bangalore for
the procurement of the vaccines.

As your colleague and your Team Lead, I’m delighted to welcome you back at the office and would be happy to have a
direct line of communication with you without any hassles of phone/video conferencing. I’m delighted to meet you all
in person after working remotely with such a great team.

Let me know if any of you have any concerns regarding the SOPs decided by the management. I would be happy to
resolve all your queries and would extend help, if needed.

Thank you for your time.

Looking forward to meeting all of you again.

Stay safe.
