WFH not being the first preferred choice is inferred not just from the chart above, but
also from multiple stated views of the respondents. Some are cited below:

- “There should be either flexi time or roster based work as WfH 100% may not
keep one self-motivated and depression or loneliness may set in ”
- “It is a very good option to have flexibility in timings and schedule one can
focus on the job and attend office for which, a roster also helps”
- “Roster could be a better balance for WfH and regular office ”
- “WfH is a good option, but not all the time Roster option is a better one...”
- “WfH may be relevant but employee do tend to miss the social life & informal
learning experience. An Ideal model would be the combination of office & WfH
on roster basis”.
