WORK FROM REMOTE: AN OVERVIEW OF COST AND PERFORMANCE IMPLICATIONS

Dr. Madhu Gupta

Lockdowns and restrictions that were imposed on movements of people at the time of Pandemic, provided opportunity to organisation to test and experiment with work from home culture. Once the pandemic situation is over, organisations will evaluate whether work from home in general would be a better option for them or not. Many factors need to be considered by each organisation and it may result into multiple models of operations from complete work from home to mix of work from home and from office to complete work from office. The present paper discusses the different factors which affects cost and performance associated with this transformation process in different organisations. In the absence of statistical data and study on effect on productivity of an organisation that allows work from remote, subjective factors needs to be evaluated by concerned organisation and result will be very specific to them. In all, it is observed that, there is a good possibility that combination of work from home and remote may lead to better productivity and employee motivation and most of the organisation are going to have a Hybrid Workplace i.e., some professionals working from home, others from office and many others partially at home / office in near future.
