Is remote working blessing or burden for companies?

2. COVID-19, like overall output, has affected almost every aspect of our everyday life. The notion of working from home has been the biggest improvement. About half of the population of the world is doing it today. Never had the world seen an exercise of this magnitude. Will work from home be transient or continue here in its present configuration? Can organizations see that as a viable option, particularly when people argue that the obstacles between work and life have almost disappeared? We see shifts in operational levels, changes in everyday activities, how staff stay on top of things outside of the use of job and efficiency instruments.

3. Many major tech companies have announced plans to allow their employees to continue to work from home for most of 2020. The transition is being made more permanent by others. Some businesses are taking action: Twitter revealed that workers will be allowed to work remotely forever. Facebook Inc has announced it will allow its workers to work from home until July next year, while Google has extended its remote working time until June next year for employees who do not need to be in the workplace.

More than 1 in 10 employees have had their video calls compromised. When working from the company office, more than half (59 percent) of workers felt more safe online, and more than 1 in 3 (36 percent) were more vigilant about opening up emails at home.

6. Blessing or Burden- A final word The influence of Covid-19 is experienced by the world on all facets of life, in all nations and in all industries. The truth is that with the aid of technology and other digital technologies, many tasks and functions can be achieved digitally, and much better. Vanessa Tierney, CEO and co-founder of Abodoo, a data-driven matching network, concludes in terms of the merits and demerits of remote work: While the difficulty of remote work has now been exposed, the merits outweigh the demerits and force tech conglomerates such as Facebook and Twitter to encourage their workers to work forever from home. During the lockdown, the IT industry switched very quickly to the WFH model, providing market stability to consumers without sacrificing performance or productivity, satisfying industry leaders and clients alike. It has shown that companies can grow and prosper from anywhere in the world with the right processes in place. The IT industry's rigid dedication to quality systems and the availability of bandwidth connectivity both from homes in metros and in small towns are two reasons for this smooth transition. During the 2008 Great Recession, many manufacturing executives led their companies.
