After the recent appeal of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, changes are being seen in the corporate world also. In this context, a major giant company has taken a big step keeping in mind energy saving and expense reduction. The company has decided to increase the work from home (WFH) system for the employees as well as reduce foreign business trips.
The company’s management said that this decision has been taken with the aim of reducing operating costs, reducing carbon emissions and promoting digital work culture. Many teams will now be allowed to work in a hybrid model, with employees working from home some days of the week.
Along with this, foreign trips will be allowed only when necessary, and where possible, virtual meetings will be given priority. The company believes that due to modern technology, many international meetings can now be conducted effectively online.
Experts say that this step is part of the ongoing global trend in which companies are paying more attention to reducing costs and environmental protection. The work from home model, which started after the Covid pandemic, is now being adopted in a permanent and structured form.
There is a mixed reaction among the employees regarding this decision. Some people are seeing it as a better work-life balance and convenience, while some believe that continuous WFH may affect teamwork and office culture.
At present, the company has clarified that this system will be implemented in a phased manner and it will be reviewed from time to time. It is also possible to change it if needed.
Overall, the effect of PM Modi’s appeal is now visible not only in the government system but also in the corporate sector, which can make the way of working more digital and flexible in the times to come.
