Days have changed and the world is continuously being conscious not just about physical health but also mental & emotional health. Taking about the working class, they are the one running all the time. For some commitments, responsibilities, or passion they are withstanding unbearable stress, bossy environments, demotivating appraisals, tiring travels, client encounters and so much more.

All most 90 per cent of the population deals with this. A handful of people work to build career path by gaining experience. Otherwise, work, profession is just matter of money, isn’t it? “Work/life balance has been a myth for a long time. If you care about your family, and you care about your job, and you also want to prioritize health and friendships and hobbies, the idea that you might have even a day where all those things are in perfect harmony to me is hysterically funny, if not just wrong. What I always strive for is balance in a week, where I might have two days where I'm pretty focused on my work and I don't get as much time with my family as I want, but then I'll have two more days where I'm in family mode and work takes a backseat. That's probably the most realistic way to manage this crisis,” says Adam Grant, a professor at the Wharton School.

Putting this thoughts together, we wanted to analyse companies that are making real efforts to make the employees feel worth working. With this, this year siliconindia startupcity came forth with magazines that featured state-wise startups that are proven to be best places to work. We understood that over the last decade, it has become clear that companies seeking to shape industries and lead innovation need to adopt the collaborative work method. Building a sense of community is one of the first steps in creating a more positive company culture. This is particularly important for companies eager to raise the bar, constantly evolve and stay on top.

However, the present scenario of COVID and lockdown has created so much chaos in organizations and their work process. This sudden crisis has given mixed feeling to those who work from home and also to the leaders who are managing the entire operations. This has forced companies to revamp their work culture.

Working in office not only builds communities but also stimulates efficiency and creativity. It establishes resilience, adaptability, resourcefulness, as well as a deep connection to the company vision. But working from home now is leading to procrastination, demotivation to work and several distractions. But employees are getting increasingly comfortable with video meeting, and online dealing. For a lot of startups, some are working on this and building couple of strategies to deal with it.

Here is some are some thoughts by industry to support employees to not make them be worried and get a sense of losing out the Job:
“Founders & leadership need to take 100 per cent salary cut. The pay scales and other benefits have been higher than all employees you employ. This is the time to sacrifice and help other “junior” employees who are on hand to mouth. Don’t cut their pay!” says Arjun Seth of Indian Angel Network.

Working in one space naturally encourages collaboration and brainstorming around complicated ideation processes. These kinds of ongoing discussions that are crucial to great team efforts can be lost when working remotely, and interactions are restricted to more formal, limited and pre-scheduled meetings. Though we want to maintain professionalism try to understand the environment of the employees and situation.

Leaders should take the opportunity to give their employees more control and, hopefully, discover that they can trust them to manage their own schedules. Leaders may want to become more hands-on in learning about their employees’ values, interests, strengths, and motivations. Meanwhile, organizations as a whole may embrace home working and continue to experiment with different ways of working after the crisis is over.

This is a time when leaders need to be flexible and compassionate. This is not an experiment that any of us opted into, but as long as we're stuck with it, as a leader, it's an opportunity to say: "If I impose less control over people's schedules and plans, that's going to teach me whether I can trust them or not, " told Adam Grant, a professor at the Wharton School in talks about the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the world of work.

Moreover, I personally questioned a few professionals and notices that the lockdown is causing psychological trauma is various aspects. Organizations due to many reasons are putting forth cost cuttings and firing people. Time to give it a thought and plan for alternatives to resolve the crisis.
