WORK FROM HOME IS BECOMING THE NEW STANDARD OF EMPLOYMENT

Abstract

When work from home was approved during COVID-19, technologies like digitization, distributed workforces, asynchronous and virtual collaboration, as well as reskilling and upskilling, were already revolutionizing the workplace. The COVID-19 has reduced the many-year gap in digitization since people who work from home accept it more rapidly than they might have in the past. Many jobs now have the permanent option of working from home thanks to COVID-19, even if not all office work can be done from home. Environments that allow employees to work from home promote the creation of operational models that are more digitally enabled, redesigned workspaces that encourage innovation, and enhanced methods of communication. When we opt for the work from home model or a hybrid of it, technology is vital to carrying out your obligations. Due to technology, working from home is now more common than it was in the IT industry before COVID-19. Future employment will change as a result of technology. The epidemic has accelerated Future of Work trends like the development of hybrid models, more attention to EHS (employee health scheme) and increased workplace flexibility. Government offices quickly transformed into digital environments after permitting remote work. Working from home in a hybrid model is an option for about 85% of employees as the new standard and is projected to continue to be so in the future due to the flexibility of working hours. Following the approval of the work-from-home paradigm, tier 2 and tier 3 cities will play a significant role. Workplaces of the future may undergo numerous modifications. We can categorize tasks into those that can be completed at home or in the office depending on the nature of the work.
