Abstract

Work from home/remote working is no more a buzz word; employees are working from home and employers are accepting it as far as the work goes on without compromising productivity. There are few questions which draw attention when remote employees are looked from HR’s perspective. Information technology-based organizations are bit acquainted with the process and facilities of work from home employees but the for the HR professionals of other industries it seems to be quite challenging. Looking at the scenario of lock down and COVID-19 environment and post covid environment, the frequent shift or immediate action of providing work from home or from office is the prime concern for most of the HR departments. Its successful execution in different ways i.e., work from home or work from office or a combination of both became a performance criterion for the HR professionals.
