From Office to Home Office: Concerns and Complications of Managers and Employees

Abstract Business organizations have been forced to reevaluate their operations, technology use, and virtual staffing in an effort to increase efficiency and effectiveness as a result of the global COVID-19 pandemic. In this case, HR managers are crucial in identifying functional barriers and difficulties and creating strategies to effectively address them. HR managers deal with a variety of challenges, such as managing remote teams, fostering employee engagement so that they feel a sense of social belonging to the company, and reducing employee stress brought on by frequent virtual meetings and sessions. Thus, this study’s primary goal is to pinpoint the main difficulties that remote employees and HR managers in virtual organizations encounter. The primary basis for the study was secondary data, which included websites, news items, published articles, and other online resources. The paper also suggests potential solutions to these problems.
