Dr. Shareena P, Mahammad Shahid

Abstract :

Covid-19 pandemic has enforced the concept ‘Work from Home’ (WFH) into an officially mandated, strictly enforced rule. Now, WFH concept is emerging from all sectors, from IT sectors to teaching sectors. WFH concept is new to majority of the employees, as the COVID 19 has forced almost all the employees of all the sectors to work from home for the first time. As the employees are experiencing new environment, this paper attempts to find out the experience of the employees in working from home when compared to Working in office. The study found that willingness to work from home is entirely dependent on presence of their children at home, comfortable space at home, quiet environment at home and good internet connectivity. Most of the respondents are also of opinion that even if they are ready to work from home they do not like to work from home.
