Abstract

The significant impact of COVID-19 on the global workforce made a shift towards remote work arrangements. As physical presence in the workplace became hard to accomplish, many organizations adopted the Work from Home (WFH) methodology. This study explores the implications of WFH on employee convenience, productivity, job satisfaction, and work-home balance. Employing a mixed-method approach, combining a simple survey with empirical analysis, the research delves into the cost and time utilization associated with this strategy, as well as the productivity gains achieved within a familiar work environment. However, potential drawbacks, such as limited face-to-face interaction, communication gaps, and detachment from peer groups, are also considered. This study offers valuable insights into the evolving nature of work and provides recommendations for organizations seeking to optimize their work policies. By examining the potential benefits and challenges of WFH, this research contributes to a better understanding of the future of work and the strategies that can enhance employee well-being and productivity.
