BENGALURU:
Infosys CEO
Vishal Sikka played Santa Claus to top performers in the company during the holiday season. He gifted iPhone 6s to 3,000 employees, an unusual gesture for the company. It was perhaps part of an effort to stem the high attrition rate.
The gift was accompanied by an email from Sikka where he addressed the employees as friends.
Sikka’s message read: “Thinking back on 2014 feels good, doesn’t it? There was so much you wanted to accomplish with seemingly so little time to do it all.” Achieving what Infosys has “took your boundless energy and extraordinary effort”.
The “holiday bonus” came as a surprise to employees.
