The Indian Prime Minister, Mr Narendra Modi in his speech addressing the country on August 25, mentioned that in order to boost the workforce with more representation from Women, different industries need to create provisions for working from home and flexibility in working hours.
The idea of being "in-office" appears to be a thing of the past in this continuously changing world as the concept of virtual workspaces is becoming prominent. With much of the world's workforce demanding their employers for Hybrid, Flexible and Remote working models, companies have started accepting the reality of a flexible working model with some versions of Hybrid, Remote and Flexible models in practice.
In fact, a recent study by Upwork found that by 2028, 73% of all departments are expected to have remote workers. So, it can be fairly said that incorporating virtual workspaces is swiftly becoming the ultimate baseline.
A flexible working schedule is not limited to freelancers anymore. Companies have discovered that flexibility at work is what employees are actively looking at in their jobs. The credit goes to digital technologies that have advanced more rapidly than any innovation in history, says UN.

We all have had our own experiences of rigid work schedules. The effects that they have on productivity and personal lives are substantial. Ask yourself - When was the last time you were suffering from an unproductive afternoon? Was it one of the days last week? It’s a big yes, right? Don’t freak out - you’re just normal like everyone else. The time has changed drastically and we are moving towards flexible work schedules.
