There are firms who never let their employees work from home due to their rigidness and lack of trust to their employees. Of course we are here speaking based on experience of our time before we came at Octabeans Software, which might not please some of the companies but the reality is that firms are not all that confidence when it comes to giving freedom to their employees to work from where ever they want.
We also accept that some employees take benifite of this and focus on other things, but for a firm, the thing has to be calculated based on output from the employee, no matter how and when they work.
If the output is not what expected then there is no point even keeping that employee in the office as well. But anyways, which ever companies having that tendency to not allow employee work from home, they have to do it now forcefully as the Coronavirus is spreading across the glob.
In India, already major tech companies and startups are following the same practices and asking their employees to work from home only.
Flipkart is one of the big names who is implementing the work from home practices for employees.
We at Octabeans Software always practicing work from anywhere, it is actually helping to reduce office cost as well as allowing employees to take responsibility and ownership of task given.
Our experience says employees become more productive, given that the employees must be A player as per the Steve Jobs’ opinion, and this is reason why we have a very small team and whenever you visit our office at Morbi, you will only found our Co-founder Mahesh Manseta, and that is also not always because he also follow the same practice of working from anywhere, after all at the end of the day, it is the productivity that matters rather than anything else.
