Companies from across the globe are now faced with an existential question. That is on whether work- from- home or WFH, was merely temporary for the duration of the pandemic, or does it become pretty much permanent. Twitter and Facebook for instance have already made long- term plans on the same. A few steps need be considered by companies while finalizing this decision. For a start, critical tasks and the competencies needed for the same must be mapped out. The costs and subsequent benefits too have to be assessed. The entire talent recruitment now needs to be developed in a way that existing jobs can be restructured. This will allow a long- term reworking towards remote positions. Unnecessary coordination among remote workers needs to be minimized. Some tasks may not be possible remotely, but those that can, definitely need a push now.
