Covid 19 has brought in a wave of changes in every aspect of human life. These changes will definitely have a long term impact and in some cases permanent changes in basic dynamic. The corporate world has adopted this transition smoothly with changes and modifications in all business functions. The human resource practices have undergone considerable transformation. In the initial phase of lockdown, when employees were unable to go to work, the organisations shifted the working model to Work From Home. Today, organisations are contemplating on continuing the Work From Home Model to take advantage of the benefits emerging out of this setting. However, careful evaluation needs to be done before implementing the Work From Home Model on a long term and permanent basis. Various Human Resource dynamics that are affected and the outcomes of such new setting need to be contemplated before adoption of Work From Home Model. This study is an initial attempt to understand perspectives of people who have experienced Work From Home Model and get an insight into the positive and negative outcomes of this new norm of work setting. The study also tries to understand preference towards Work From Home Model. The study can be helpful to Human Resource Practitioners to evaluate and make decisions with respect to Work From Home Model before accepting it as the new norm.
