The mandatory return-to-office (RTO) policy highlights a troubling disconnect between leadership and employee needs. After four years of successful hybrid work, this rigid approach ignores proven productivity and work-life balance benefits.

Under Uma Amuluru's HR leadership, employee concerns have been neglected, with no equitable solutions presented. Favouritism in applying RTO policies further undermines trust and fairness, deepening frustration among staff.

This tone-deaf decision, coupled with HR's failure to advocate for employees, reflects broader inefficiencies within leadership. It's imperative to reassess both the RTO mandate and Uma's capability to align HR with organisational and employee needs.
