COVID-19 pandemic has enforced the concept 'Work from Home' (WFH) into an
officially mandated, strictly enforced rule. Now, WFH concept is emerging from all
sectors, from IT sectors to teaching sectors. WFH concept is new to majority of the
employees, as the COVID 19 has forced almost all the employees of all the sectors to
work from home for the first time. As the employees are experiencing new
environment, this paper attempts to find out the experience of the employees in
working from home when compared to working in office. The study found that
willingness to work from home is entirely dependent on presence of their children at
home, comfortable space at home, quiet environment at home and good internet
connectivity. Most of the respondents are also of opinion that even if they are ready to
work from home they do not like to work from home.
