Trending @Accenture; Work from office Mandatory??

After recent WFO notice, is it mandatory to go office everyday even when your teammates are from different locations?

Relax guys, you are not required to WFO. Just be within travelling reach of your base location. If they have WFO for everyone they will run out of office space. So chill

Are they tracking by something like if I am in gurgaon for now and my base location is Kolkata so how will they track if I am in gurgaon.

Depends on your project /project manager. Some projects are mandating only 2/3 days WFO. Contact your manager.

My manager has allowed me to do WFH but today there is one article published in โ€œNEED TO DOโ€ about mandatory WFO

It is mandatory to be in base location not to WFO if you are working for any client then it is mandatory but it depends on project and manger

The notice says your residence should be in reachable able distance from respective base location.

Not mandatory wfo

This to stop ppl working from native place

Not necessarily WFO.. it says irrespective of mode of work, one has to be at base location, distance from office should be few hours considering roadway/public transport(excluding airways) check all in FAQ.

Not mandatory yet. It will be made so, in due time. It's being implemented to ensure people work from their base location, rather than other cities...or atleast that's what the insight could be...

2 days a week in our project but it is not tracked directly. Few people are WFH based on pre-approved requests.
