Will WFH related HR and Management policies be a crucial factor in employee retention for firms ? COVID seems to be around much longer than we all hoped ;
Talking to some of my industry colleagues, especially at senior positions, I get to hear different voices.
Ones who are good at delegation of work at office seemed more receptive to idea of longer WFH policies & may even be fine to perpetualise the arrangement.
Managers who prefer to see their reportees in front are less amenable to the idea, as they fear lack of control &

mask their insecurities with reasoning of productivity etc.
Employee perspective is very important while crystallising policies. Resources are more likely to evaluate job options more on HR policies concerning #WFH
Firms that have management push on accommodative #WFH

policies need to maintain discipline & not intrude into personal time & space of employees & HR has to ensure compliance. I get feedback that WFH is taken as an excuse by managers to schedule meetings/updates much beyond office hours. As if employee was responsible for Covid

Firms that are able to work objectively with HR & employees on favourable arrangement are more likely to retain & attract quality resources. Retention of employees is critical to smooth functioning of firm.

I was traveling in France and worked with a French gentleman who worked in the firm which gave us some automation hardware systems.
A proud French he took me to city tour almost everyday after our day’s work was over. Paris is a historical city with art & architecture!

I was awestruck with his knowledge about European history & in particular knowledge about French art & history.
When we discussed families, he mentioned he has 2 sons busy with schooling.
Gentleman mentioned that the family has a History Teacher who comes home to

teach both their kids, and it is twice a week. Some of his friends have somewhat similar arrangement.
He emphatically said, you know nothing if you don’t know your history and you must ensure kids know the real history and it is passed on from one generation to another.

Apple, every year, manages to surprise with new features, which I often believe are reaching end of the line and can’t grow beyond a certain level, and every time am proven wrong by phenomenal team at apple 🍎.
