    COVID-19 Effects on Employees during the Period
    of Work from Home

    Introduction
    COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the world and everything came into a stand still, as of which
    many people has to stay homes and wok from home all the public gathering places were shut.
    This project explains the impacts of Covid-19 on employee during the period of work from
    home, the idea includes the pros and cons of the and How are companies adapting to
    implementing WFH arrangements?

    What is the purpose?


    The purpose behind the idea is how significant COVID-19 has impacted the job sector.
    Undoubtedly the COVID 19 pandemic in India and the world has very severely impacted the
    world economy and workforce.

    Talking about how did this effect millions of people working across the globe as we saw a
    spike of the virus during the mid 2020 world stood to a standstill. The world economy came
    down to cover up these situation work from home started as to which employee worked at
    their homes, there were a few pros and cons of it and mainly to know how did the world start
    to adapt to whf !

    What are the expected outcomes?


    Some companies may have previous experience in implementing WFH arrangements or they
    may already have emergency WFH plans n place. However, many companies are l likely to
    be implementing WFH arrangements for t the first time, and they need t quickly and urgently
    adopt WFH arrangements across the entire company. Although many companies recognize
    the benefits of WFH, some have had difficulty making t transition. In Japan, for example, a
    survey conducted before the 7 April announcement of a state of emergency, found that while

    96 percent of respondents agreed with t importance of WFH or working remotely, 31 percent


    of companies were unable to adopt

    This form of working. The main reason was that paperwork was not digitized and t required I
    internal rules and procedures for teleworking were not ready. Concerns over the
    confidentiality of I information or possible security breaches can also limit the use of WFH..

    Issues Identified
    Increased isolation:

    You can become quite isolated working from home if you spend the majority of your time by
    yourself, working independently. The key to avoiding loneliness and isolation as a remote
    worker is to schedule outings and events with friends and family. Some remote workplaces
    offer regular team events to encourage socialization.

    Home office costs:

    Some remote positions require specific equipment like headsets, webcams, or software to
    perform essential tasks and projects. If you want to set up a desk, chair,

    and other furniture, you can expect to cover some initial costs to get your home office
    organized. Keep your costs low by spending only what you need to perform your job.

    Risk of overworking

    Telecommuting also comes with the risk of working longer than you should. This can lead to
    burn-out and increased work-related stress. You can avoid this by clearly defining your

    schedule and allocating specific times for your job tasks and personal tasks. For some people,
    it's important to have a designated workspace that you can leave when the workday is over.

    Potential Solution
    In the past, remote employees have had a bad reputation. Many employers believed their
    workforce would be too easily distracted at home, where their managers couldn't keep an eye
    on their direct reports.

    Remote work was very rare a decade ago. Working from home was usually only available as
    a special arrangement to accommodate families in specific cases. However, teleconferencing
    and timework technology has advanced to the point where some businesses thrive with
    completely remote teams. In fact, it's not uncommon for businesses to allow their employees
    to work from home once or twice a week.

    Potential solutions for this include:

    50% capacity:
    As in the company can get this policy on by call-in in employees those who are fully
    vaccinated and haven’t been effected by the virus earlier can work offline following all the
    covid appropriate behaviour

    Health Benefits

    Both job guarantee and universal basic income supporters emphasize the possible health
    benefits associated with both programs, given the substantial evidence linking unemployment
    to poor health.

    It is expected that these measures will have a positive impact on health, including direct
    effects on individual beneficiaries.

    In addition to improvements to labour market conditions for all workers, these programs have
    macroeconomic effects and distributional benefits, and unlock a broader range of benefits at a
    local level.

    What are the probable innovations?


    It’s a huge change in the work force for the employee and the company in such ways they
    have to bring in new ways of working online by providing employee stress free workplace
    sitting at home the employee can work swiftly instead of having the workload.

    Probable innovations include:

    Reduction of time to work

    Stress free workplace

    What are the benefits of the above-mentioned innovation?


    Reduction of time to work

    Once an employee gets time to work in intervals of time they become more efficient towards
    the company and its goals it’s a automated human tendency of having rests between any kind
    of work and it’s pretty obvious once an employee is stressed out and takes rest for while and
    gets back to work he/she can perform better than before

    Stress free workplace-If there is at most freedom to work at home the employee feels no
    pressure he/she would like to work with happiness because the work load is less and having
    kept in mind that timings compared to offline is less here and employee working at home can
    also give time to family calls during work. Such way it becomes a healthy work environment

    Conclusion
    To sum the whole project our aim was to bring out to you how did the pandemic effect the
    employee and their behaviour under strict working conditions at home they also had a lot of
    pressure from both the side from working place and home also to mention the connectivity of
    the network and many such issues we conclude by saying that employee must adapt himself/
    herself to this kind of environment because the pandemic has not yet fade this might stay or
    leave to fight this spread and keeping in mind the employee and his/her health conditions
    working from home is the better alternative to a 50/50 workplace offline
