Why are employees reluctant to work from office?

 Now that we have bid adieu to Covid and offices want their employees to work from the office rather than from the comforts of their home. And this has led to a tussle as employees are reluctant to work from the office. When forced to return to office, employees tendered their resignation which shocked the companies.

Now let’s see the reasons WHY employees don’t want to work from office

Rental issues

During covid times To - let boards were very common and landlords incurred huge loss as tenants were leaving the city. Now when companies have forced employee to come to work, landlords have raised the rentals to cover up for the loss incurred during the pandemic. Employees are unable to find decent accommodation at an affordable price.

Work life balance

While working from home, people were saving a lot of time commuting, especially in a city like Bangalore, which got global attention for its traffic situation. Employees are away from home for 10 -12 hours daily, 2 -3 hours of it is in traffic. While working from home employees can spend those hours with their family members. Because family is always there to support them whether they are with a job or laid off.

Managing household chores

While working from the office, employees used to get only weekends to take care of the issues at home like grocery, technician, and visiting shops before making purchases. By the time these activities were done, their weekend was over.

While working from home employees can handle these things along with work. Like Groceries can be bought during weekdays after office hours, technicians can visit house any day of the week. Such practices gave employees ample amount of time for their weekend to go out on weekend getaways with family.

Healthy lifestyle

Covid taught us to lead a healthy lifestyle as well as to boost our immune system. While working from home people had a lot of time so they utilized it by taking care of their health.

When I was in Kerala, I used to walk daily for over an hour, which boosted my body's metabolism rate too. As I was sweating profusely.

In the work from office scenario people will be back to square one when they will have no time to take care of their health.
