This study has examined the employees based in Noida, Gurgaon, and Bangalore, of different companies, ranging from start-ups, Medium, and Small Manufacturing Enterprises, and even Multi-National Organizations, the perception of selecting Work from Home and Work From Office. With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, as the companies around the world had moved on to a hybrid work from home, there has been a decent change in the working mentality of employees and company culture as well. But, as the COVID-19 progressed through and the lockdowns around the world strengthened, employees around the globe had a differentiated view on Work from Home policies.
This study is basically studying the after-effects of COVID-19, where employees based in the aforementioned regions were examined and evaluated based on the ratings provided through the self- assessed questionnaire. The questionnaire was self-prepared by the authors and comprised of questions that was based on the psychological, physiological, and demographical information perceived by the respondents, the current global work scenario, challenges faced by employees during work from home, and the preference of respondents / employees of work from home over work from office, or vice-versa.
Through this study, the author is inclined to draw a conclusion between work from home and work from office by trying to take the mean scores of the ratings. With the modes and medians in place as well, the author is drawing an interpretation through skewness whether the respondents are tilted towards work from home or work from office.
Cronbach Alpha was used to measure the internal reliability as well as the consistency of the self-developed questionnaire. Some statistical tests that were used in the given study were Correlation, Descriptive Statistics, and theorems of Central Tendency.

Objectives
Drawing a conclusion
between Work From
Office & Work From
Home.
PRIMARY
Analyzing the after-
effects of COVID -19 on
employees through
different data metrics.
SECONDARY
Establishing a
relationship among the
responses by analyzing
different employee
responses.
TERTIARY
4. TECHNIQUES USED
IN OUR PROJECT
Other than judgement sampling, we used the
basic techniques of Central Tendency Theorems.
Mean - To Calculate the respondent
preferences' through mean of the ratings.
Mode - To Calculate The Frequency Of The
Responses.
Correlation - To establish a relation
between respondents' preferences and
COVID-19 aftereffects on them.
6. Here, “r=0.3984”, which says that two
variables are moderately correlated.
This implies that the employees’
communication with their bosses or
fellow employees is moderately
correlated with the employees’
preference of working from home.
Correlation Analysis 1
7. Here, “r=0.2834”, which says that two
variables are moderately correlated.
This implies that the employees do
not like work from home but, they do
prefer the saving of time that
happens while working from home.
Thus, the employees’ preference of
working from home affects the travel
time of the employees to some
extent.
Correlation Analysis 2
8. 1.The response to question number 3 (Mean 4.5)
says that work from home saves considerable
amount of time.
2. Another inference which comes out through this
is employees or the respondents’ parts of this
activity feel that the productivity rate while
working from office (Mean 4.0) is slightly higher
than working from home. (Mean 3.8).
3. The mean of work from home preference (3.6)
says around 72% of the people are inclined
towards working from home and the other 28%
feel that work from office is slightly better.
MEAN ANALYSIS
9. The mode of 5 (See the first and
the last bar tower) says that
respondents do feel that work
from home is better than work
from office.
1.
2. The mode frequency of 3 says that
(Bar Tower 2) that on an average
around 60% of the people need to
take a break while working from
home.
MODAL ANALYSIS
10. INFERENCES
Work From Office vs. Home
Respondents based in the Delhi region
are more inclined towards working from
home.
The After- Effects Of COVID - 19 Invariable Relation
Non - Communication among employees
while working from home could lead to
loneliness. Breaks are substantially
lessened.
Preference to travel does not have any
effect due to COVID-19, but somewhat
communication has some.
A BRIEF CONCLUSION OF OUR RESEARCH PROJECT
11. Employee Needs
Cater.
We recommend the offices
and the organizations
based out of New Delhi to
be more realistic and
adherent to the employees’
health and communications
Instigation Of The
Win - Win Situation
Amid COVID.
Flexible hours could both
shoo away loneliness,
increase communication,
and productivity.
Hybrid Work
Culture, Anyone?
Organizations should now
be able to convert
themselves into a more
hybrid culture and should
incorporate both work from
home and work from office
on an alternate week basis.
