88% Indian workforce prefers WFH flexibility, manual finance processes cause Rs 16,000 crore loss

Around 88 per cent of workforce in India prefers to have the flexibility to work from home (WFH), and 69 per cent of Indian employees believe their efficiency has increased while working remotely – highest in the Asia Pacific region, according to a report by SAP Concur.

According to the report, many Indian firms still run manual finance and administrative processes, resulting in inefficiencies that lead to productivity losses, which is estimated to be to the tune of over Rs 16,800 crore.

“Remote work will be the default mode of work for many organisations in the foreseeable future. Embracing this change, 88 per cent of employees in India have expressed their preference to have the flexibility of remote working,” the SAP Concur report said.
