The Impact of Remote Work on Employee Engagement and Productivity

This research paper seeks to investigate the impact incidences of remote work on employee engagement and productivity, a very drastic shift introduced in the wake of the pandemic worldwide. Organizations have adapted with new work models, and its implication on workforce effectiveness. A mixed-methods research approach of primary research using a structure-based hypothetical questionnaire for quantitative analysis and subjecting it into secondary research through an exhaustive literature review process for qualitative insight was adopted. The findings indicate that even though remote work is flexible resulting in increased job satisfaction, it could lead to some complications such as isolation and barriers in communication. By analysing these dynamics, this study offers valuable recommendations for organizations seeking to optimize remote work practices, ultimately aiming to improve employee engagement and productivity in an increasingly digital work environment.
