Wipro has introduced a new employee monitoring tool that tracks digital activity on company-issued laptops, with a day of leave deducted if an employee does not log in for a full workday, according to livemint.com. This move aligns Wipro with other Indian IT firms like TCS and Cognizant that have implemented similar productivity tracking measures as of September 2026.
The tool provides a dashboard accessible to both employees and their managers, showing real-time activity data. This system aims to enhance productivity by closely monitoring work patterns and ensuring employees meet expected digital engagement levels during office hours. Wipro’s initiative reflects a broader industry trend toward leveraging technology to optimize workforce efficiency, as reported by livemint.com.
This development comes amid growing adoption of employee monitoring software in the Indian IT sector, where firms are increasingly focused on productivity gains and returns from artificial intelligence integration. TCS and Cognizant have already deployed comparable tools, signaling a shift in operational management strategies. Such measures may influence work culture and employee autonomy across the sector, according to livemint.com.
Wipro’s implementation of this monitoring tool marks a significant step in its productivity strategy, with the company enforcing a policy that equates a full day without laptop login to a day’s leave. The dashboard’s dual access for employees and managers is designed to promote transparency and accountability, as detailed by livemint.com.
