One of the premier computer software companies, Microsoft has decided to make the present system of ‘Work from Home’ (implemented as a preventive measure against the spread of the raging coronavirus pandemic) to be permanent!
As a preventive measure to control the raging coronavirus pandemic spread, most of the ‘hi-tech’ companies closed. As such, the employees have been asked to work from home. This commenced from end-March.
In this scenario, Microsoft has decided to offer some of its employees the option of working from home permanently.
Microsoft recently released the guidelines on the ‘work from home’ system. One of the higher officials of Microsoft shared:
“Due to the raging coronavirus pandemic, employees were allowed to work from home. As per the changing trend of life/work style in the prevailing conditions, Microsoft decided to offer the option to its employees to forge ahead with the changing trend of the working system.
Keeping the above in mind, Microsoft has now offered some of its employees the option of ‘Work from Home’ on a permanent basis. With this offer, the employees can work at whatever time they prefer! This would also enhance their skills and working efficiency!
At the same time, some of the employees may need to use the info/data, hardware, etc., on some special occasions. This category of employees will be encouraged to attend duty at their workplaces!”
