“WFH is definitely comfortable and all but it just makes my job
more difficult”

“I still had to go to my job , taking all risks. The sooner this all
is over the better”

“This is all great ,I'm loving it just mind the barriers of group
communications”

• Figure shows the net percentage of firms
reporting that working from home has made
their workforce more productive.

• With the exception of the information and

communication sector, a substantially greater
proportion of firms in all other industries
report that the productivity of their workers
has decreased during the pandemic than
increased.

12/14
Even within the information and
communications sector, where firms have
traditionally been keen adopters of home-
working and have reported their intent to
use it permanently, the net proportion of
firms reporting increased productivity is
tiny – specifically, only 0.8 percentage
points. The proportion of lower productivity
reports (11.5%) almost outweighs higher
productivity reports (12.3%).

 SHOULD IT COMPANIES ALLOW THEIR EMPLOYEES
TO PERMANENTLY W.F.H.? NO
• As per our research and surveys, we get to know that
disadvantages out weighs advantages of work from home.

• Our suggestion will be to not follow work from home culture

because it decreases productivity as a whole.

• Recently , TCS also plans to call its 70-80% workforce back which
shows that big IT firms are also rejecting the idea of W.F.H.

• According to forbes also, may not be a sustainable way.
