Beyond Covid: Towards a ‘new normal’ at work
Last month Microsoft joined the new-age league -- Facebook, Twitter, Google and Salesforce -- in bringing forth an extended work-from-home policy. But the new “agile” systems stipulate more rapid dipstick project management sequences such as regular meetings and frequent stocktaking to ensure that processes don’t go askew and that projects are completed within defined timelines with measurable assessments. On the other hand, even in the United States, remote locations come with bandwidth issues, and most tech companies pay employees an incentive each month so that the employee can afford a reliable network connection. Most technology employers allow employees to work at their own pace, although filling out time sheets is still the norm among Indian companies. Redefined office space is a major reason many youngsters hanker to work at the New Age “cool” technology companies.
