training and development prospects as due to the remote working scenario, the instructors will
not be in the position to answer the different questions and it will be decreasing the motivation of
employees to learn (Jahromi, Nikabadi and Maleki 2017).

there is low budget as the online training is cheaper as there are no such expenses such as
commute cost, meeting room or any other equipment. It is the cost-effective process as the online
training means cutting on costs and the e-learning courses can be reutilized and updated without
much expense or time (Jahromi, Nikabadi and Maleki 2017).
