Description
Work from Home suits some individuals more than others. The Covid-19 pandemic and other constraints arising out of various situations globally are forcing many organizations to adopt WFH practices. While there are definite advantages of working from home, one cannot ignore the challenges and problems involved in a WFH. These challenges can be addressed and sorted out with the effort from organizations as well as the individual employees, often jointly.
This is a 32 item questionnaire which is meant to identify the suitability quotient of individuals to Work From Home. This diagnostic tool TVRLS-WFHSQ is based on the assumptions that employees can ensure maximum productivity if they have the following aids to work from home:
- Infrastructure facilities like a room, furniture, power, connectivity, support systems, ventilation, free from noise, etc. (This is measured by Infrastructure quotient INFRAQ)
- Absence of Interruptions and Interference from household responsibilities, children, parents, neighbors, visitors etc. (This is assessed by the Interruptions and Interferences quotient INTERQ)
- A desire and a positive attitude to work from home and a personality that is suitable to work from home including a predisposition to work alone and the ability to connect and network with others even while working alone. (This is assessed by the Personality and attitudes Quotient PAQ)
- An ability to save and utilize the time saved due to WFH for personal growth and organizational growth including taking up additional work. (Productivity and Time saved quotient PTQ)
