Businesses need to learn a Lesson


With the conditions getting worse during lockdown many experts fear the losses, different sectors
would have to bear. Many organisations might continue work from home even post Covid lockdown.

But, the industries won’t remain same as they were before the lockdown. Many industries would
make a decent start but many would suffer. Experts claim that IT, hospitality home delivery services
and manufacturing services would come on track but many businesses would not have a great start.
Automobile sector, for example, won’t restart soon, as people would be reluctant in spending on
vehicles immediately post-lockdown. Over that many automobile manufacturers are running out of
money to pay their workforce.
Potential and aware customers would avoid visiting public places and they would continue to prefer
digital services like home delivery over dining out and pick-ups, this would create a great
opportunity for delivery service providers like e-groceries, but hotel and other hospitality service
providers might have to take a blow.
This is just a small glimpse into automobile and Hospitality sector. Several other sectors would have
to face the consequences. Some sector may have to depend on government to uplift them with
relief packages, GST relaxation or interest waiver etc.
This should come as a learning to businesses and we should start working on making our business
models flexible enough to speedily adopt to sudden and disastrous changes like this.

Is Work from home better or Are we not prepared for it?

This lockdown has made everyone to opt work from home to run their businesses and organisations. Many are advising to transform the way we look at running businesses by opting for work from home post lock down. But the question is - Is work from home that effective? According to me, Work from home can be a complimentary tool not a substitute. Every team work requires brainstorming and discussions which are productive if teams sit together rather than working from their homes and discussing over any video conferencing tool. Exchange of information is better when employees work in a common workspace. While working from homes the exchange of information becomes non uniform, teams of different departments, for example, would have information related to their department only and this increases with the size of organisation – the bigger the organisation more will be the non-uniformity. Working in an office reduces the time involved in resolving doubts that any team member or team may have re...
