Work from home has been a part of the DCKAP culture. However with COVID-19, work from home seemed like the only feasible option to first and foremost prioritize the safety of our employees and be responsible as an organization.
With a large workforce hailing from different backgrounds, it was quite obvious that we have various different views on working from home.We wanted to understand our employees’ view point and keeping this in mind, we did an internal survey to understand their experience.
When DCKAP decided to start working from home on 13 March, 2020, even before the official government lockdown, we never thought it would take this long to return back to our vibrant office space.
We proactively ensured that our employees were equipped with all the information and support to WFH and we are happy that this has worked well to a great extent. Here is what we found in our results.
