What would the future of work from home model look like?

Organizations worldwide resorted to working from home as it was the only alternative available to keep the businesses running. But as time passes, they are beginning to realize that they had built up a lot of misconceptions about the model and that it actually has a lot of advantages that had previously been overlooked.

This is why many businesses have already declared that they are permanently moving to the work from home model and would continue to work this way, even after the pandemic subsides. However, we would need to address issues like poor internet connectivity and cyber threats to make this model more effective and efficient.
