Work,worship from home and eat there

WFH -W : Work and Worship from Home and eat at home.

Once the lockdown was in place as a longer routine many organisations have even transferred the network connections, computers including desktops to the homes of the staff . 

Such a quantum shift would mean your job is secured for at least 24 months if not more . This I am asserting as the machines sent to the homes of over 200 staff is not a small investment and the logistics involved was quite something. 

The networks set up , broadband connectivity, security and safety of the personnel and the equipments all meant a huge shift .

This is the true future of Work from home initiatives of corporates who are ready for the long run not just two weeks at a time.

Another concern and necessary shift in paradigm would be necessary in ensuring that colleagues also learn to Worship from home at quiet hours not encroaching into the work routine. This may need a lot of counselling and guidance to make it a simple home private practise. Taking hour or more breaks may then be a thing of the past. Just pray and move ahead no space for discourses during office hours 

The two home based practises would enhance productivity and also reduce stress related to some team members vanishing for long breaks while the boss gets down to the tough questions at work.

Work worship and eat at home would mean some more hard work . One may need to cook the requisite food to be stored warm so that two or three helpings are available for one person.

This would save time, if efforts are made to cook in the breaks. The making of salads would be easy in a short break , not cooking a full indian meal of rice, sambar and veggies (at least one ) 

Food can be managed with rolls and ready to eat sandwiches and burgers made early and warmed up in microwave ovens. Good food may mean vegetarian food though managing the non vegetarian meal will have to planned suitably for time management.

Let’s see how readers may have better suggestions to take work from home as a long time solution and the portion of how worship from home may  be smoothly incorporated into the HR practises 

So eat home, work from home and worship from home may result in more  SOHOs (self owned home offices) for which the corporate office may allow to create an independent  office space in the flat or home of the staff or partner in business .

Happier days are close and enjoy the changes to keep healthy and keep the virus away for good.
