This policy aims to curb bench-related costs estimated at 8–10% of payroll—and boost accountability, amid slower global IT spending and increased automation. Milind Lakkad, Chief HR Officer at TCS, indicated macroeconomic uncertainties behind the company’s deferred appraisal decisions. Industry voices, like @aloukkumar of Inductus Group, emphasized that clients now expect AI-integrated, fast turnaround solutions, pressing firms like TCS to optimise their talent base for high-value, tech-driven projects. Biswajeet Mahapatra of Forrester added, “While the new bench policy does not explicitly mandate AI adoption, it underscores the increasing importance of upskilling in AI, automation, and other emerging technologies.” With XXX lakh employees undergoing reskilling in AI/ML and digital platforms, TCS is betting on proactive learning through tools like @Azure AI and @awscloud SageMaker. However, this shift also brings anxiety for legacy role holders and mid-career professionals navigating tighter utilisation windows. As Neeti Sharma of @TeamLeaseDGT pointed out, “Organisations are looking for freshers who are not just digitally literate but also have skills to use and create AI and GenAI tools.”  XXX engagements  **Related Topics** [$tcsns](/topic/$tcsns) [Post Link](https://x.com/Analyticsindiam/status/1937072683587707242)
