What benefits is Tata consultancy services providing to employees who are being layed off?

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) is providing several benefits to employees being laid off in 2025. These benefits include:

Full payment during the notice period.

Additional severance packages.

Extended health and insurance coverage.

Outplacement assistance including career transition support.

Counseling and emotional support during the transition.

TCS emphasized that the layoffs, affecting about 2% of its global workforce (around 12,000 employees mostly in middle and senior management), are being handled compassionately and phased throughout the year to minimize impact on clients and employees. The company also noted efforts in reskilling and redeployment before layoffs and stressed the decision is driven by skill mismatches and deployment feasibility, not primarily by AI-led productivity gains.

In summary, affected employees receive notice pay, severance benefits, extended insurance, and support for finding new jobs with counseling from TCS.

If health insurance continuation is a concern, employees are advised to explore options like migrating their group health insurance to a retail plan offered by the same insurer to retain coverage after leaving TCS.
