The Ministry of Planning is currently drafting a national policy to keep one of the add-ons of the pandemic on a permanent basis – working from home (WFH).
Since mid-March last year, the private and public sector have been up-ended by the restrictions imposed by the government to combat the spread of covid19; however, the sectors have seen an increase in productivity from employees working remotely.
While significant segments of the private sector were closed, public servants operated on a rotation system, some worked from home while some services were shelved for months.
