The corona virus bring an uncertain condition to economy and companies which is
mostly affected there production process and services provided in market. The unemployment
rate are increase gradually in countries due to Covid-19 due to less market demand and supplies.
Company production are almost half of now before Covid impact (Benraiss-Noailles and Viot,
2021). The government of all countries are announced Lockdown in countries which impact the
business production process. The employees are not allowed to work in factory or office which
have high gathering. At initial stage companies are finding many difficulties that are affecting
them due to Covid. Although they find solution called work from home for employee to

companies specially IT sector companies which reduce their cost with high percentages.
Although production companies are more impacted as production process is almost half at that
time. Only management, technical, accountant and admiration employees are allowed to work
from Home while employees in production are no other option to work in industry. Although
companies are providing high safety to employees working industry (Daniel-González and et al.,
2020).
The concept is successful for IT companies which are offering to their customers through
online got highly benefits as they save huge cost by work from model. While there employees
productivity are seems to be low during the lockdown as sudden change employee effect their
productivity and efficiency towards work. The company growth is reduces at some point even
for IT segments. The production companies are badly affected and employed productivity are
decrease high percentage. Many of industries had terminate employees which are extra load to
companies through temporary termination or permanent termination. As, companies are also at
losses stage which are unable to afford the extra employees. The covid-19 are high dangerous to
people which are above age of 50 years and companies are termination majorly of age people
who are at their retirements stages. But not just high experience people are terminated by
companies, young fresher are also fired by companies. On the other hand, there is rise in
employment at IT sector as almost all companies had move towards online working (Nakayama

From them, covid-19 had highly impacted. In addition to this economy is the major is affected
from covid-19 specially countries which are underdeveloped and developing stage.
1. There are more benefits to employees to work from Home. One pf the major factor is
safety at a time of high emergency where health is one of the major factor that need to be
considered by everyone in world. Employee are getting more flexible hours to work and

work through online e and major of cost are save during the lockdown. Second major
benefits is company by providing with benefits like active sessions that motivate them to
work and mentally healthy (Dal Corso and et al., 2020). Online activities like quiz and a
light conversation that make employee active I work and remain there productivity level

which affect the employee working routine and take time to adopt new change. This
makes difficult to measure the performance of itself as they are unable to known the
working efficiency that are giving to company (Wu and et al., 2020). There are also many
distraction on home that affect the employee working and put more efforts to complete
the task.
