Respected Shri Pradhanmantri Ji,
Sub : Protocols for Work from Home pattern
While acclaiming your vision for digitalising the Country under your vision of “Digital India” it is a matter of pride that not only the corporate sector but even the non-corporate sector consisting of small businesses, small Industries, Trans-port, Self employed persons, women entrepreneurs and other sectors have emerged as the front runner in adopting and accepting modern digital techniques in their existing format of trade & commerce.
The COVID-19 has brought a new business model in India and over the globe, the Work from Home, (WFH) model which has evolved on its own has proved to be a successful model through out the country. It has accelerated the transi-tion from work in office spaces to working remotely in adverse situation. Not only the Corporate or Industry sector but even self organised sector consisting of small businesses has too embraced virtual work world. This model which has the capabilities to reduce the infrastructure cost considerably along with many other benefits is certainly going to stay even after the COVID crisis is being resolved. It has become an integral part of the trade and commerce. Considering it as a new dynamic in working module, we urge you to formulate an exhaustive rules and regulations for Work From Home working model to prevent dispute and conflicts between the employer and employees at any stage in the future. Since its a quite new system and as there is no law governing the Work from Home system in the country, it necessitates a comprehensive and robust policy and guidelines keeping into consideration all the related factors.
As per an estimate about 17% of expenses of any Company is considered to be a cost to Infrastructure and as such Work from Home concept makes companies a saving of about 12% from infrastructure cost.as remaining 5% cost is attributed to maintaining and running the office infrastructure. Moreover, it helps in reducing traffic on the roads as also minimize load on public transport and reduce the pollution to a greater extent. During the Covid , this model has been adopted by one and all including Government, Banking Sector, Trade, Industry, Health services, Educational sector, Media, Entertainment, Insurance, Financial Services and various other sectors. Not only one to one communication but even the national & international events, conferences , meetings, AGM of Organisations and various other events including political rallies were organised on virtual world which speaks the high success of the model and its adoption and acceptance by the people. It can be considered as the single innovation of the century which has the capacity of not only reducing the cost, saving of hours of man power energy and fastest execution of work. The success and acceptance of this model can also be gauged from the point of view of extensive usage of virtual conference which is popularly earned the name of “VC” and has become a household name across the Country.
Prompted by this, we urge your good self to frame rules and regulations for Work for Home concept of working. While everyone is happy with this arrangement in the short run, conflicts between the employer and employee will arise in the long haul due to the absence of proper protocols for Work from Home. Therefore it is important to govern it to prevent future hustles and become an effective tool of highest productivity which will ultimately culminate into substantial growth of GDP and economy of the Country.
We are sure that it will receive your kind attention and you will be pleased to direct the concerned Ministry and authori-ties to formulate rules and regulations for Work From Home working model.
Thank you. With highest regards
Yours truly
