While Prime Minister Narendra Modi has exhorted the value of work-from-home (WFH) to increase the participation of women in the Indian workforce, most firms have resorted to calling employees back to work as the pandemic has been waning.
“While employees are given the freedom to work from the office or from their home, many employers are encouraging their team members to work from the office at a designated frequency to build relations and create bond with their colleagues. This is applicable especially when new employees are onboarded, as they feel left out in interactions or in aligning with the organisational or functional goals,” said Careernet CEO and co-founder Anshuman Das.
