The global pandemic locked us all in and it created a new normal. It has unlocked for us the value of family in such crippling times. That pause helped us realize the importance of personal space, creativity within us, and of course value of our family. So, Work From Home a Blessing in Disguise is it really true?
Work from home was a concept only in the IT sector but businesses across various industries have been compelled to close the doors to their offices and shops and move into a more remote working situation with technology on hand.
Though lockdown is coming to an end but few IT giants have started working with 30% of staff and few are planning to have permanent work from home for their employees
So is work from home really a Blessing in Disguise, let’s discuss on few points.
No commuting helps increase productivity at work
Daily commuting to the office is so tiresome. Most of us employee-only think about whether will I reach the office on time without being stuck in traffic. We really stress too much over traveling through bumper-to-bumper traffic rather than our work. Thus WFH has given us time to be more efficient in work and increase our productivity.
More of self and family time
WFH gave us time to know the real self and how creative we are as an individual. Also time with family especially for people who have been working in different cities away from their families. That family makes you feel happy and satisfied with life. It did help with a better work-life balance for all of us.
Comfortable working space
Online meetings from our bed, pajamas being our office wear it all created a new experience for us while working from home. Favorite music playing by side, without being worried about how do I look today all was a whole new feeling and mood which is actually a blessing for an employee.
Flexible Schedules
In this working environment as long as our work does not get compromised we could take naps between office hours, binge watches our favorite shows. All this gave us the mental space to plan our days more efficiently and follow a healthy living.
Happy Wallets
How can we forget how much we saved working from Home. No unnecessary commuting charges, no unhealthy eating and munching while breaks and traveling. Not visiting the favorite store while going home. All these extra expenses which made us broke by month-end came to stop.
In the end,
Sometimes, sit on the other side of the table and try to make some decisions to understand how easy or hard it is. Just like you will find it hard to run the household without your employees, it is tough for organizations to run without their employees. If in these adverse times organizations are taking care of their employees and thus for an employee it becomes a responsibility to not treat WFH as a paid vacation. Instead with this comfortable and flexible work environment, we should not hamper work productivity.
Also we could expect it to be the new way of working and it is a perk as an employee working from home.
