Statement: "The company has decided to implement work-from-home for all employees three days a week."
Which assumption is implicit?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
An assumption is an unstated premise or belief that led to taking the decision or making the statement.
• Option (A): It assumes employee preference, which is not necessarily the driving reason for an organization's policy decision.
• Option (B): When an organization implements work-from-home policy, it fundamentally assumes that remote work will maintain or improve employees' productivity and efficiency. Hence, it is implicit.
• Option (C): Maintenance is an unrelated and far-fetched assumption with no basis in the statement.
• Option (D): Contradicts the statement, which explicitly mentions "for all employees".
Therefore, the correct implicit assumption is Productivity will improve with remote work.
