Because of the Covid-19 pandemic, the work-from-home (WFH) arrangement is one of the ways organizations today continue their operations. But how are you going to assign tasks to your work-from-home employees when they are working in the comfort of their homes, and when you cannot directly supervise them?
The best course of action here is to maintain the status quo. Your WFH employees will have the same workload they used to have when they were not yet under the WFH setup. Is this still achievable? Yes, of course! Considering that there is no more travel time, less preparation in the morning to report to the office, and the same ease applies in the afternoon when going home.
WFH is the future of the work setup, and there is no turning back. Whether we like it or not, we have to adapt to this new work environment, which is very favorable to employees and to the organization as well.
The Covid-19 pandemic, along with the availability of high-tech modes of communication such as the internet, has forced organizations to take a closer look at the WFH setup. But WFH is not new; this arrangement has been going on for quite some time for some organizations. However, the pandemic has forced all organizations to harness the usability of WFH arrangements.
They now find this setup very useful, cost-effective, and practical in addressing the many work challenges organizations face today, challenges that have been primarily influenced by the Covid-19 pandemic.
