HDFC Bank Introduces Two-Day Work-From-Home Policy for Select Employees

HDFC Bank has introduced a two-day work-from-home policy for employees in Business and Corporate Enabling Functions for a 30-day trial period, following Prime Minister Narendra Modi's call to conserve fuel amid rising crude prices. Customer-facing roles and branch operations will continue as usual. This move aligns with similar hybrid work models adopted by other private banks like IndusInd and Axis Bank, with the policy subject to review after the trial.
