ANALYSE THE IMPORTANCE OF DISTANCE LEARNING & DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS DURING WORK-FROM-HOME EMPLOYMENT AND HOW IT IMPACTED-ON EMPLOYEE'S PRODUCTIVITY FOR A POST-PANDEMIC WORK IN THE INDIAN IT SECTOR

Abstract

This research was conducted to develop an idea about the impact that digital learning could possess during the work-from-home period for IT employees of India and their return to the office. The secondary qualitative approach was chosen for the development of this research. The research was conducted on an overall data analysis and discussion based on the 15 secondary sources. From the overall discussion, it was determined that digital learning platforms provided various advantages and disadvantages in the context of increasing the productivity of employees. The flexible work schedule, technological usage, and soft skills were identified as the significant advantages of digital learning platforms. On the other hand, lack of communication and increased laid-back attitude amongst the employees have further curbed their overall productivity in the post-pandemic workplace situation in Indian IT organisations. Lastly, to conclude, this research has effectively proven that digital learning both positively and negatively influenced employee productivity levels in the Indian IT sector in the post-pandemic work context.
