With the help of cloud systems, cyber security tools, digital platforms and virtual management systems, the work of companies continued normally. This proves that work from home is a completely practical, technically possible and long-term option for many technology related positions.

The organization explained the problems of the employees
In this letter, while explaining its problems, the organization has also written that the daily commuting of employees to office is also a matter of concern. Millions of employees spend several hours every day traveling, even though their work can be done from home. Non-essential office travel increases fuel consumption, increases traffic jams, puts pressure on public transport and also harms the environment. Besides, it also affects the physical and mental health of the employees. The organization said that adopting remote work wherever possible can help in fuel saving efforts in the country and work will also not be affected.
