IT services giant Wipro has fired 300 employees in recent months who were found to be moonlighting for competitors, weighing in on a practise that has gained traction around the world as firms adopt work-from-home norms.
Rishad Premji, chairman of Wipro, which employs over 250,000 people in over 50 countries, stated at a conference on Wednesday that moonlighting for competitors is a “act of integrity violation.” “As part of transparency, people can have candid and open conversations about playing in a band or working on a weekend project.” That is an open conversation about which the organisation and the individual can reach a joint decision about whether it works for them or not,” he says.
