India Today
Initially, the work from home was seen as a stop-gap measure, but after the emergence of multiple variants of Covid-19, it may become a long term solution.
The covid pandemic forced employers to adopt a work-from-home strategy for its employees to ensure uninterrupted workflows. Now with the daily number of cases in India going down day by day, employees are curious to know whether there will be 100 per cent attendance, work from home or remote and hybrid working models.
Initially, the work from home was seen as a stop-gap measure, but after the emergence of multiple variants of Covid-19, it may become a long term solution.
Private companies such as Tata Steel, Meesho and global tech giants Microsoft, Twitter, Meta rejected the idea of having 100 per cent workforce in offices.
While Tata Steel has allowed its employees to work from anywhere, Meesho adopted a "boundary-less approach", according to cnbctv18 report.
Domestic tech majors Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) and Wipro have preferred to experiment with hybrid models.
"As our world evolves, our work, workforce and workplace are also undergoing rapid evolution. Remote and hybrid working models, global talent pools, work schedule flexibility and changing jobs have reformed the worker-employee relationship," Yogita Tulsiani, MD & Co-founder, iXceed Solutions said.
"CEOs can no longer afford to follow rules of the past and must think outside the box to cater to the needs of their workforce and organization. Business leaders should strive to build strong relationships with their workforce, cultivate a progressive work culture and anticipate the needs of their employees," Tulsiani said.
