Software major HCL Technologies today said its employees in Japan are safe and a senior-level delegation will be travelling to the country to ensure on- ground support soon.

"The company continues to keep a close watch on the situation and is in touch with all diplomatic and related agencies to ensure the safety and security of its employees in Japan," HCL Technologies said in a statement.

A massive earthquake followed by a devastating tsunami hit Japan on March 11, leaving thousands of people dead or unaccounted for.

Japan is now facing a radiation scare with some explosions across various reactors being reported.

The company will send a senior-level delegation to Japan to ensure on-ground support. "This delegation will hold an Open House for all employees at relevant locations in Japan," it added.

HCL Technologies is providing options like working from home and shifting to alternate locations like Osaka, China, Singapore or India on Japan timings.

According to software representative body Nasscom, Japan contributes about two per cent to the Indian IT-BPO export revenues.

"The company's travel desk is geared to assist with all these arrangements if so required...It has also created a section on the company website (www.hcltech.com) to enable both customers and employees to remain apprised of the latest situation," the statement said.

Other companies like TCS, Infosys, Wipro and iGate have also announced similar offers for their employees, giving them the option of returning to India.

Tata Communications is also offering free usage of its teleconference facilities from Japan to support people during the calamity.
