Work-from-home – are workers truly productive?

It's been more than a year since companies and organizations implemented work-from-home (WFH). Global companies and most large local organizations decided to extend this practice for the remainder of this year as coronavirus cases surged in many parts of the globe and a new Indian variant enters several countries.

Early evidence last year revealed increased productivity, apart from other benefits like spending more time with the family and having more time for hobbies like gardening and cooking. But as pressure to show business results in a depressed economy sinked in coupled with challenges in internal collaboration and spotty internet connectivity, WFH started to show cracks. Sentiments are now ambivalent, at best mixed.
