In Infosys seems to be making some serious efforts to win the tag of being the most employee-friendly IT company in the country. Recently the company launched Infy Bubble, a social networking platform for their employees. The site mirrors Facebook in more ways than one and it is configured to allow the Infoscions to bicker about anything at all. The bickering in company’s internal social networking platform, Infosys hopes, will have the effect of boosting the employee morale.
Personal attacks are not being encouraged out here, but negative feedback about bosses and colleagues are welcome. Other than the bickering, the site also allows 1,33,560 fellow Infoscions to share moods, blogs, videos, photographs and other stuff, in a manner that is quite similar to that in Facebook. Perhaps Infosys does not want its employees to be disgorging their bile, and also the details of their personal lives, on sites like Facebook and Google +, etc. and that is why Infy Bubble has been conceived.
Lets not forget that Facebook too had a rather small beginning, so it is also possible India’s premier software maker might be contemplating an eventual foray into the social networking space. One day Infy Bubble could become open to general users, and with some innovative ideas this social networking site might even face a population explosion. Despite rising costs hurting the profit margins of the company, Infosys has already added more than 9000 new employees this year.
So now there are 9000 more people to log on to the Infy Bubble.
