Amid an investigation into workplace harassment at TCS Nashik, Infosys has refuted social media claims of harassment at its BPM facility in Pune. The Maharashtra IT sector faces scrutiny following allegations at both companies. Social media posts alleging misconduct towards female employees at Infosys Pune were later deleted. The government has acknowledged the allegations, while Infosys asserts a zero-tolerance policy towards harassment and discrimination.
The company emphasizes a commitment to investigating all reported issues seriously through an independent committee. Infosys promotes a culture where employees can voice concerns through various channels. Internal processes aligned with global standards are activated to address the matter. In a parallel development, the TCS Nashik case involves complaints of harassment by senior staff towards women employees, including sexual misconduct and pressure for religious conversion.
Investigators are reviewing CCTV footage and taking statements from both complainants and accused individuals. An undercover operation involving female personnel has been conducted by the police. TCS officials visited the Nashik office for an internal inquiry, forming a special committee to investigate the complaints. Multiple complaints have surfaced, leading to around 120 employees working remotely as the probe continues.
The National Commission for Women has formed a fact-finding committee to investigate sexual harassment allegations at the TCS BPO unit in Nashik. The committee aims to submit its report within 10 working days. The investigations at both Infosys and TCS are ongoing, with authorities ensuring a thorough examination before drawing conclusions.
