Work from home isn’t simple. Non-consistent work environment may cause a decrease in productivity. What we, the corporate, needs to ensure is that the employees remain motivated. With the pandemic forcing employees to isolate themselves, staying indoors for long periods is severely going to impact their mental and physical health. They must be missing out on their gym routines and physical activities. We need to communicate with them regularly and help them cope with the situation. Here is something that we can do:

Encourage them to set up a dedicated workplace at home

  • Don’t break the routine – wake up, shower and get dressed
  • Make your home desk like a workstation
  • Schedule your work
  • Walk around the house to destress
  • Make some room for fresh air
  • Maintain consistent timing for snacks and tea
  • Stay connected with your colleagues

Provide support for equipment and other necessities

The motto of any successful work lies in two aspects, i.e. a person's skill and the tools and technologies at his disposal. In general, modern offices are well equipped with state-of-the-art equipment and technologies. These are related directly to the quality of the work.

During ‘work from home’ condition, it is a major barrier usually to the profitability of the workforce because workers require the right pieces of equipment or other necessities.
