Adame, Caplliure and Miquel (2016) mentions that work from home is one of the

ensure smooth progression of their projects so as to ensure completion within time and avoidance
of extension costs. Thus, it can be inferred that AKC Architectural Firm does not have work

that implementation of work from home facilities would attract immense initial investment from
the firm. The departmental heads would have to first make a list of employees who do not have
their own laptops and/or internet set ups at home. Then the company would have to carry out an
