60 days. 1.3 billion people. It was not easy to put a country on lockdown, but the governing bodies deemed it necessary to curb the spread of COVID-19.
The shops were shut. Factories were closed. Offices vacated. And for most, the option to work from home became a comforting option. However, a slowing economy and falling GDP required re-opening of activities at the earliest.
The decision to re-open workplaces came in phases. Manufacturing and pharmaceutical units were the first to open followed by offices with 33% of their workforce. After almost 3 months of lockdown, offices are now resuming in full capacity.
While it may come as a relief for many, employee commute remains a major hurdle for most organizations.
In a survey conducted by the Confederation of India Industry (CII), 36% of the respondents said that most organizations were struggling with safe employee commute. The keyword here being ‘safe.’
The network of public transport has been reduced significantly. Maintaining social distancing is pivotal. Providing a sanitized travel environment is a must. And each one of these has become a concern for organizations.
Hence, the need for strict guidelines that provide the perfect solution to each problem mentioned.
So, who do these guidelines apply to? And what do they specify? Keep scrolling to find out more.
