The work from home (WFH) concept had taken the front seat in the corporate sector after the Covid-19 pandemic forced companies to send employees home last year. Now, with new infections subsiding and vaccinations rising, companies want to get employees back to office complex again.
Big IT companies in India such as TCS, Infosys, Wipro, and others have already announced a gradual withdrawal of work from home strategy. They are planning to embrace a hybrid work strategy in which employees can work a few days from office and a few days remotely.
According to the latest survey by JLL India, nearly 79% of employees want to work from home at least once a week by opting for the hybrid model. The survey showed that the employees feel that post-pandemic, the ideal working week seems to be one involving three days of remote work and two days from office.
However, there is a marked decline in remote-work expectations. As per the survey, on average, employees now want to work from home 1.8 days a week as compared to 2.3 days 6 months ago. The survey revealed that employees aspire for balanced working patterns, with office remaining a key part of the work regime.
