COVID-19 Analysis
The COVID-19 outbreak has resulted in the trends of remote working and working from home. Workforce management services and solutions are likely to gain opportunities from this trend as companies strive to keep track of business performance and employee productivity. This solution helps HR and enterprise management in tracking and optimizing employee productivity and maximizing the performance of employees.

Interest in this solution is likely to go up with some corporate giants planning to go ahead with the trend of work from home even after a reduction in the impact of the worldwide crisis. TCS, for instance, India’s leading IT Company, will plan to continue its latest work model, the 25/25 model, where 25% of the team of a respective project will not be in one location. This IT firm has asked about 90% of its employees from a total of 4.5 lakhs to continue working from home in a secure borderless workplace. HR heads further of a few companies in India like Saint-Gobain, Paytm, Whirlpool, Deloitte, Ernst & Young, Cognizant, Bank of Baroda, and Axis Bank have agreed on work from home to continue.
