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.
