The Concept of Work from Home

Work from home describes work being done remotely, instead of at an

office. The acronym “WFH” is used as a nickname for the concept.

Businesses can have a successful WFH workforce if:

● Employees are equipped with the right hardware and software tools to
perform their tasks
● The organization has a digital adoption solution to enable its employees
to navigate, utilize, and adopt their software
● Managers and company leaders have access to software insights to assess
software ROI, business success and the digital employee experience.

Transition of Work Culture during COVID- 19 Times

The outbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) and the subsequent

work-from-home imperatives and lockdowns have led to significant
economic disruptions around the world.

Nearly half of India’s technology workers – estimated at 3 million – have

already begun to work from home as social distancing becomes key to
contain the spread of the outbreak.

WFH has been easier to implement in the IT industry and the recent
earnings show that the strategy has had minimal impact on the top line
and productivity even during the lockdown.
