Work From Home a Blessing in Disguise

The global pandemic locked us all in but 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 with us, and of course value of our family.

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. 

Even With the lockdown coming to an end, some companies have started working with 30% of staff whereas some companies such as Twitter, Shopify, and Facebook are leading the ‘Work-from-home” Revolution by announcing permanent work from home for their employees.

So is work from home really a blessing in Disgusie, let’s discuss

No commuting helps increase productivity in 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 wan sot 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,

 we know the onus of taking care of the employees, especially in adverse times, falls upon the employer. With work from home leading to happier employees and hence higher productivity, one could perhaps, expect changes in the way we work in the future and we must be prepared for that and definitely considering it to be a perk as employees we should put in our efforts and should not hamper our productivity for the organization we work.
