ABSTRACT

Remote work has completely changed the landscape of the conventional workplace. This abstract explores change factors contributing to employee engagement and productivity under remote work. It deals with the positive side-the benefits of remote work-which could embody certain flexibility, enhanced work-life balance, and lesser commuting, leading to the well-being and motivation of employees. It explores, at the other side of the coin, some drawbacks of remote work, like possible social isolation, difficulties in keeping proper distinction and separation between work and home life, and monitoring and performance management challenges. Then the abstract dwells on the idea that there is now more than ever a need for organizations to create flexible and inclusive remote-working policies that support employee well-being and fast-tracking communication and collaboration toward the overall development of a healthy and productive remote working environment.

Keywords – Remote work, employee engagement, productivity, work-life balance, employee well-being, social isolation, communication, collaboration.
