 According to psychologists, it may take approximately 21 days of conscious and consistent effort to create a new habit. Well, we have been in lockdown much longer than 21 days and have embraced several new habits by choice or compulsion. We all are keeping ourselves busy with multitasking including undertaking official or professional work from home. This will become a habit if not already developed as such and it will eventually become a compulsive choice as I look at it. It will have a commercial as well as the advantage of convenience undoubtedly. Well, before proceeding further, let me quickly request you to subscribe to this Knowledge and Informative YouTube channel and like the video if you really do. COVID-19 or coronavirus has put us on a complete new path. There are several things about our personal and professional lives which have undergone massive change. I am sure for the betterment as our faith and ideology time and again reminds us that whatever happens happens for the good. Though I do not fully subscribe to that concept but I do believe that adversities, difficulties do prepare us to adapt and evolve and bring about new solutions to the changing needs of nature and society. This is what has exactly happened now. Today I will throw some light on the new work regime that will take formal shape as lockdown due to COVID-19 pandemic will begin to end. Though lockdown may end, though the pandemic will continue to cloud us for months and years to follow. There are two segments of work in the society, predominantly one desk or office jobs and another field or groundwork. In so far as desk jobs are concerned, the trend has begun in the past three years to work remotely. These desk or office jobs were wholly capable of being aided by artificial intelligence and virtual or remote mechanism of technology. As per IWG study report in 2018, that is two years back, around 58% office goers in India worked remotely at least once a week. Suggesting that flexible workplace was becoming a trend. Based on detailed extensive research done on a range of different industries across 96 countries, the IWG report concluded that two-thirds of global employees were working remotely every week in 2018. The survey emphasized that 40% of Indian professionals believed that their employers were wasting substantial amounts of money due to an unused or underused office space. 95% believed flexible working helps the business to grow by enabling employees to be more productive while on the move. The flexibility also allows companies to attract more talent than the regular offices. This will become a reality now. According to IT industry expert veteran Senapati Krish Gopala Krishnan, more than 1 million information technology employees are expected to continue to work from home even after coronavirus inflicted lockdown situation returns to normality. This is because 90-95% of people in many of the larger IT organizations are working out of home today and very smoothly. Moving up to 2025, 5 years henceforth, TCS, i.e. Tata Consultancy Services, will ask a sizable majority of 75% of its about 4.5 lakh employees, globally including 350,000 employees in India to work from home. The new model being branded as 25x25 will require far less office space than occupied today. According to TCS chief operating officer NG Subramanyam, they don't believe that they need more than 25% of the workforce at the facilities in order to be 100% productive. As per media reports, Gurugram's Metropolitan Authority CEO and Haryana's additional chief secretary has said that multi-national companies, BPO's business process outsourcing firms and IT-enabled services providers may have to explore ways to let their employees work from home for the next few months. I have also noticed a surge in the advertisements on the internet attracting people to earn money by working from home. So even employers are contemplating hiring people for remote jobs. Even in the legal profession and several other streams of work, video conferencing has taken off like a rage. It has become a routine and the way it is proceeding, many may choose to work remotely and virtually, at least for some days a week. Now, what will happen to real estate and commercial office space, only time will tell whether they will become ghost, outlets or get converted into some new attractive concepts. Only time will tell. Thank you and goodbye until the next video talk.
