Remote working introduced employees to the concept of being productive even from the comforts of their homes. Where Covid 19 pandemic forced organizations to resort to it, to ensure business continuity, it offered employees added benefits like flexibility. Thanks to the new business model, employees didn’t have to fight with traffic signal lights anymore. There were no more in-person longish official meetings or brushing of shoulders in competitive environments as well.
Undoubtedly, the biggest challenge faced by employees in India is the time spent traveling to work. The workforce in India spends 7% of their day traveling on average. In extreme cases, they may travel for two hours or more to offices. And if they pick up a job in a city like Banglore or Mumbai which is infamous for its chock-a-block traffic, that’s a different ball game together. Their other concern is the availability of jobs in Indian companies. As the number of engineers graduating every year is way larger compared to the job vacancies available in companies. So in such scenarios employees in India are always on the lookout for job opportunities either remotely or outside of their country. When these plights are addressed, they don’t only bring in their skill and expertise, but a deep-rooted desire to contribute to your company brand.
