WORK FROM HOME

Abstract

Work from Home (WFH) has been a communal concept since a long time.

When the Internet flooded the entire telecommuting world , work from home took a different place in the giant way. It used to be considered as a convenient option where in families/individuals were able to combine their workspace and homework with the belief that they can maintain their personal and official needs simultaneously and efficiently.

In these precedented times, this convenient option has curved out as more of a compulsion or as an obligation.

COVID-19 epidemic has not only impacted the economic, social or health areas. It has also formed an unprecedented prospect : for running the entire workplace . This practice is yielding captivating visions “that have noteworthy implications/ consequences for the mode we should organize our work.”

Purpose The purpose of this project is to analyse that WFH (Work from home) which was used to be considered as a convenient option or as a privilege now how during the Covid-19 phase, it has made the lives more complex/complicated than making it a serenity. This project also tries to adjudge or analyse the problems or issues that are faced by different employees of different sectors like (IT/ITES Sector, Education Sector and Service Sector) while performing the work from home and how it is impacting the mental wellbeing of any individual.

In addition to that, this project also tries to analyse what would be the future model of working and how employers need to take care of the social connectivity and mental well-being. “Approach The methodology used for this project was through the survey, where the population range from 30yrs to 55 yrs of age. The employees from different sectors were considered in the survey, the detailed explanation of the methodology is provided in the respective chapter of the Project.

Findings The project is divided into two sections, first in order to understand the satisfaction level of the employees in the different sector and we found several findings with respect to those employees: ❖ IT sector: Average satisfaction but with every new target, stress level increases ❖ Educational Sector: Higher dissatisfaction due to lack of f2f interactions between the educators/faculties and the students. In addition to the entire shift in the technology also led some kind of high stress levels among both the parties. ❖ Service Sector: As compared to the other sectors, in the service sector, the overall satisfaction level is high . However, the employees still feel some lack in time management which could lead to the increase in the stress levels.

“Findings show that WFH (work from home) is a pragmatic choice for the future.” Also, we have identified that the future work model would be a Hybrid model. There won’t be 100% remote working , and the employers have to maintain the solutions for the social connectivity and mental well- being too.

The detailed analysis is defined in the “Analysis” section of this project, where in the satisfaction analysis is defined for each respective sector . In addition to that, the solutions are also defined that may be placed in the organisations to support the hybrid model and social & mental well -being of the employees.
