Infosys, One of the popular India's software company, plans to roll out a new policy listing the do's and dont's for their employees. The occurrence of such policy is due to many employees presence in major social networking sites. Considering this fact the Senior Vice-President an Global Head, Human Resources (Infy), Nandita Gurjar quoted today.
We plan to roll out a social media policy shortly
It would be a policy akin to a code of conduct of the company and which employees would have to adhere to. Such a policy is prevalent outside India
The policy would mainly enlist do's and don't about revealing projects or client engagements,
The employees were free to air opinions but not to pass personal comments," she said agreeing there was a thin line between the two. Those breaching the policy once implemented would face disciplinary action, including warning and in worst cases termination from services
It was reported that some employees were found discussing projects and clients details on the networking sites, which of course is a breach of confidentiality, the aim for this policy is to stop such things and make the employees accountable for their comments on social websites.
Passing comments on any person in organization is also prohibited. The policy is expected ready and will soon be published in coming month.
The company also has dedicated pages to make the information common to all the employees about the various notification.
Recently during the bandh, we let employees know that they would be closed for the day through the social networking site,she said.
