Highlights

  • Millennials and Genjis today are gravitating towards work-from-home instead of in-office, time-based instead of delivery-based, long-term instead of short-term jobs and freelancers instead of full-timers. This style is spreading in a changing world.
  • From 'co-working space' to 'office space' where you can work by renting tables and chairs, there are many options available in Kathmandu.

Interior designer Aparajita Basnet, who has been running a startup company called 'Alay The Designing Studio' for the past three years, does not have her own office. She has built a small 'home-office', but it is not a matter of calling all the employees and clients home daily. He does not even need to open an entire office for the work that can be done easily with just two/three staff and mobile phones and laptops. However, we had to meet and greet with the staff every day!

Like

Aparajita, many solutions of the same nature have emerged to address the specific needs and challenges of modern business life. Taking into account the new style of working culture, some restaurants and cafes in Kathmandu have started placing lama-lama and wide table-chairs for the environment of sitting and working in the cafe, from the facility of charging devices such as laptops and mobiles. For example, you may have noticed the 'co-working table' seen in most outlets of Himalayan Java.

From ``co-working space'' where you can rent tables and chairs at an hourly or daily rate, you can rent the entire ``office space'' by paying one and a half lakh rupees per month. Most of the offices of government and non-government organizations operate from the Kathmandu branch of some foreign companies that provide 'co-working' and office space. Companies like Regus, Rem dot work have been providing state-of-the-art office space where office facilities including board room, conference room, printing, security arrangement, reception, parking lot and smoking zone have been arranged.

Aparajita is also running her company from a co-working space called The Learning Center in Naxal. 5000 per person per month membership fee. She said that she will work like this until the company expands as they will get all the facilities like electricity, water, internet, furniture, office assistant, cafe. 'The co-working space is vibrant, some are reading books and copies, some are busy working on their laptops, some are busy in discussions in the meeting room, the activity of people around does not make you feel lonely,' says Aparajita, 'if you open your own office, leave the employees alone. There is also a kind of namaz when you go out. It is boring to work alone in the hustle and bustle.'' He is of the opinion that 'co-working space' is a good option for those who do not have a permanent company.

Bipin Thapa, founder of The Learning Center Recently, the number of people who work from home without going to the office, leave their jobs and do 'freelancing' (work done independently without being affiliated with an organization), provide information technology services along with inquiries, research, data analysis for foreign companies and clients. They say it is increasing. He informed that 18/19 young people who are living a different kind of working life regularly come to the center. "Doctors, CA students and professionals running startup companies or working as 'freelancers' are our regular customers," says Vipin He said that Rs. 1,750 for weekly membership and Rs. 5,000 for monthly membership.

It can be seen that especially among the young generation, instead of going to the office continuously five/six days a week or sitting in the office from morning till evening, instead of sitting at home or in a place of their choice, the habit or habit of doing work with the help of technology is increasing. Millennials born since the 1990s, Genji born since the beginning of the new century, and some older generations of professionals today are 'work-from-home instead of in-office, delivery-based instead of time-based, short-term job instead of long-term job and freelancer instead of full-timer'. are attracted towards the trend of working as Not only in Nepal, this is a global new 'trend' seen in work culture.

Former Finance Secretary Rameshwar Prasad Khanal, who retired after three decades in government service, has recently been active as an economic affairs expert for organizations such as the World Bank Group and the Public Service Commission. Still working 12/13 hours a day, he does most of his responsibilities from home. He said that he only goes to the relevant office for meetings and when sensitive documents are needed. He has experienced that while the previous generation prefers permanent or office work, the new generation prefers work with more freedom. "Young people who work in information technology, travel and tourism, and guides do not remain stable in one office," he said. Therefore, they seem to be more focused on their own personal development than the promotion given by the organization, changing companies quickly.

Especially after the confusing times like the ongoing lockdown due to the Covid-19 epidemic, the practice of working from home has increased all over the world. Even now that the effects of Covid have subsided, some foreign missions and non-governmental organizations have maintained the facilities of working from home completely or mixed methods of working from home some days and office some days. Sunita (name changed), working in an international mission in Kathmandu, shares her experience that life has become easy and exciting since the old ritual of going to the office after Covid-19 has been removed.

'The office has given us the facility to work from home for at least 3 days, even if we work from home for 2 days. I have just had a baby, so it's very convenient for me,' she says, 'The disadvantage of not going to the office and working from home is that walking is too much. It will be less. In terms of creativity, when working from home, the work is done quickly, in the office, the time to work is reduced by chatting with friends, coffee breaks, lounge breaks, meetings, etc.'

Similarly, Kiran (name changed), who heads the technical department of an international non-governmental organization with a central office in Lalitpur, also said that they have the facility to work completely from home. He said that one room of the house has been equipped with basic equipment for office purposes and the organization has also helped in that. "There is a growing thought that there is no need to hold an office for daily meetings, reporting, discussions on documents, except in cases where important agreements or collective decisions are made through face-to-face meetings," he says. I reach the office only if the service provider is comfortable.'

Not only in 'freelance, consultancy or contract work' but also formal office work in the atmosphere of their own choice is increasing. Even the government bodies of some countries have continued to provide facilities like 'work from home' after Covid. In a recent survey conducted by an organization called FlexJobs, it is mentioned that almost 80 percent of Millennial and Genji age group youths prefer remote work options that allow them to work without going to the office. 60 percent of the respondents said that they would rather quit their jobs if that was not an option. Similarly, a Stanford University research also mentions that the productivity of those who work from home or the location of their choice is 13 percent higher than those who work in the office.

According to a 2021 study by the Center for Inclusive Development Studies (IIDS), there are 6,509 freelancers in Nepal. According to the center's report published last year, 'freelancers' have been exporting software development and technology services. It is seen in the report that 'programming, coding, designing, software development and testing' are the main IT services exported from Nepal. Similarly, it is mentioned that 106 companies exporting information technology services are operating in Nepal. A study conducted by the center showed that Nepal's IT sector exported information technology services worth 515 million US dollars (about 67.62 billion rupees) in 2022.

While there is still good potential in service exports, company owners are complaining that it is becoming difficult to maintain skilled manpower in IT companies. Gaurav Pandey, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of EK Solutions, a software company, has experienced that it is becoming a challenge to finish work on time due to the trend of leaving the job and moving to another company or migrating abroad after learning. "Earlier, we used to work only with our own employees, we made more and more appointments, but no matter how much we did, it would be difficult to sustain," says Gaurav, "now we work with freelancers instead of employees. We recruit freelancers for ourselves and others.'

He understands that most IT companies hire "freelancers" on contract because it is difficult to sustain "developers". Gaurav said that since the government has also taken a policy to facilitate freelancers, the attraction of IT manpower has increased. "Because of that, we have to change our working methodology," he said. It has everyone's interest in that direction. He said that problems such as not always getting a job, and sometimes not getting paid after working are the challenges in this sector.

In February 2021, a study conducted by the US National Institute of Medicine among 3 million people from about 715 companies with a Fortune-500 list also showed that people's professionalism increased by about 6 percent when they did not have to run an office. In the days since then, it can be seen that the trend of finding an alternative to work in a freely chosen style, instead of the hassle of attending the office regularly for small tasks in your professional life, has increased greatly.

Although some big tech companies with billionaire Elon Musk's X have imposed a rule to come and work in the office, the world's leading companies and their heads have been advocating a project-based or mixed style of work instead of running an open office. In a ceremony held at Apple, the company's head, Tim Cook, commented that although his company was able to continue the standard of success when 'working from home' during the Covid, there was a lack of mutual support and friendship. Since then, Apple has adopted a policy to come to the office on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays and work from home on Wednesdays and Fridays. Sundar Pichai, head of Alphabet (Google) has also implemented a mixed system where he has to come to the office 3 days out of 5 and work from wherever is convenient for him for the remaining 2 days. Some of the alphabet positions are still completely doable at home.

Even in 2024, Silicon Valley companies such as Dropbox, Square, Upstart, Black Bud, Atlassian have given their employees the ability to work from anywhere. Big companies like Microsoft, Salesforce, Nvidia, Shopify have adopted a mixed style office system, while companies like Space X, Tesla, Meta, Oracle, Cisco have imposed a rule that employees must come to the office completely.

Even in Nepal, it is understood that there is a growing population of people who are looking for remote work options, according to young economist Nishant Khanal. Khanal, who says that he has been doing remote-style work since 2018, responds that he feels comfortable and relaxed when he works at his own time and place without the hassle of an office. "Since I started working with companies outside of Nepal before Covid, I was used to this style by the time the epidemic came. Later, when I came to Singapore to study, remote and consultancy style work was added," he says. I am not attracted to the work of having to stay in the office completely because I spend more time in conversations and meetings than work.'

Khanal, who works in the field of economic inquiry, research and analysis, says that he enjoys working as a 'freelancer' more than joining an office. He informed that while 'freelancing' one can work on different projects at the same time and he is currently working on three projects. He has separated one project from home in the morning, another at a cafe or co-working space in the afternoon, and a third project in the evening. He has felt that his creativity and work speed have increased due to the freedom of this style. Software Fur Software and IT Services Compression, which has been in the 'delivery-basade' (a working company) in the office, a new generation, especially for the time period of work on office, a new generation of time. -It) is an analysis of the treasurer Abire Poudel. "Companies are clearly employed to go to a regular office and 10 hours of work," he said. It is started to be able to freely and be reluctant to become office. The practice of appointing employees and personalized will be made in the need to meet and meet the rest of the work and the rest of the remote employees. '& Nbsp; General-Break Nepal, Poudel Nepal, Poudel Nepal, claims professional and technical staff in technology companies only 3 years in average. He understands that the search for work and style is more than permanent methods.

UN 59 million peopleower power has claimed that about 9025 people power to create a situation that can be created without cash. About 98 percent of the participants in the Forbes said they were eager to do the care of remote or mixed style.

The facilities such as 'Work Home' Since it was not so much widespread and privacy, sensitivity, he clarified that they would not be able to make public services 'flexible' to public service. 'आयोगका सबै प्रणाली अनलाइन छन्– फर्म भर्ने, शुल्क भुक्तानी गर्ने सबै अनलाइनबाटै गर्न मिल्छ,' उनले भने, 'परीक्षामा उत्तीर्ण भएपछि बल्ल आयोगमा आउँदा हुन्छ ।' सरकारी निकायहरूमा पनि महालेखा नियन्त्रकको कार्यालयअन्तर्गतको कोष तथा लेखा नियन्त्रक कार्यालयले 'वर्क–फ्रम होम' संस्कृति Has adopted. The employees here do not have to go to the office, the strong information technology system and the internet service has been created from home due to home.

There is a suggestion that in Kathmandu for this, in Kathmandu, in Kathmandu for this, including the last decades that have made timely laws and initiative, in Kathmandu, the struggle of Rs. According to him, it is time to apply the legal law with practical provisions with practical provisions with practical provisions with a practical status by keeping the tendency to work for a short period of time. & Nbsp; Attempting to engage in the facilities for short periods of facilities as social security cells, it is futil to understand that the staff could not even make the funding of the cell's money be its own. "Our most employees do not come to work for longer periods, a week or two," he said, 'The amount of money is gathered by them by 60 years ago They only get rid of it. Two months have to work for two months, the company has given the money but because they arrive 60 years ago, they are not feeling that money. It is necessary to find the practical solution to such issues. '
