Hate working from home? Badly missing office? Your story is no different than rest! Survey sheds light on eye-opening details

Are you among those working from home but finding it too challenging? Well, you will be surprised to know that your story is no different that others. According to the Rebooting 2020: A Story of Covid-19, and Shifting Perceptions survey by reputation management advisory, The Mavericks India, 75% of Indians find work from home challenging and millennials prefer to work from office. Also, 61% Indians are experiencing mental health related issues due to the lockdown, uncertainty, and looming financial crisis. Moreover, 90% CXOs expect the economy to recover in no less than one year.

With individuals restricted with the four walls of their homes, mental health has taken a severe hit, according to the survey.

Gen-Z and millennials have been impacted the most. While 27% of Gen-Z say that this crisis has taken a significant toll on their mental health, the score for millennials is 19%. 

Furthermore, women are struggling more than men as their workload has increased significantly with them carrying multiple responsibilities without any assistance from domestic helpers.

Work-from-home the new normal?

46% of CXOs surveyed believe that working remotely will be the most significant change in the post-COVID world. While Work From Home is quite prevalent in the western world, the concept was confined to a handful of sectors and very often, limited to a few functions in India.

On the contrary, the workforce is itching to get back to working from office with 75% Indians finding WFH very challenging and further blurring the boundaries between work and personal lives.

Indian economic revival

90% CXOs expect the recovery to be slow and painful and this is likely to be reflected heavily in their decision-making as they try and navigate the turbulent times. A whopping 72% of Indians do not expect the economy to recover in less than a year with 26% being further pessimistic, not expecting the recovery before two years.

Thumbs up for Modi

Overall, 70% of Indians and 79% of CXOs are supportive of the Central Government’s response in handling the crisis.
