For years people in metro cities of India have travelled far for jobs spending nearly 2 to 3 hours in daily work commutes and are still doing so, unfortunately, no one has cared to deep dive into what these long daily commutes do to an individual. There are several studies and reports on how long daily commutes affect a person physically, and mentally and are adding to stress, depression and anxiety. For years job platforms have been stuck in the old traditional approaches and have never thought of how they can help solve one of the biggest problems of job seekers.
It is more than a decade we have been hearing about work-life balance and employee well-being as one of the top corporate agendas but have hardly seen any action on it. Employers are busy filling their open positions and have never really cared or looked into how these daily long commutes affect their employees and in turn are one of the major reasons for low productivity. A major reason for low talent retention is long commutes and burnouts. A shorter commute will ensure improvement in employment tenures thus reducing the cost of hiring and rehiring.
The daily long commutes also add to pressure on the public infrastructure and add to the ever-increasing pollution and has been one of the reasons for the deteriorating Air Quality Index (AQI) across the major metro cities of India.
