Work From Home: A Feature Of The Pandemic Or Here To Stay?

In this pandemic, the advantages are apparent, and WFH will become a permanent practice. A new study shows that 20% of full-time work will be carried out at home in the future – compared to only 5% before the outbreak.

More than 50% of city workers in India prefer WFH, 34% are willing to cut wages, and 83% want WFH for at least two days if they lift the restrictions.

According to the NBER survey of more than 30,000 people in the US, it demonstrates that respondents reported higher than expected performance in WFH and higher productivity.

Relative to their expectations of WFH before COVID-19, 20.6% of voters said their product was much better than anticipated, 21.9% said it was substantially better, and 17% said it was only better. Another 26.7% said it was almost the same, whereas just 13.9% said it was worse than that.

Every individual has been experiencing the pandemic differently – remote working, reduced hours, balancing childcare responsibilities with work commitments, etc. 

Here are a few other perspectives of covid that is leading towards the future:
