Employee Productivity During Work from Home: An IT Employee Study

The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the transition to remote work for all industries, but especially for the Information Technology (IT) industry. WFH arrangements offer flexibility and cost savings, but the effect of WFH on employee productivity is still a debated issue. The study examines the factors affecting employee productivity while WFH among IT professionals. The study examined the relationship of work environment, communication, technological support, work-life balance and productivity. The results indicate that employee productivity can improve in remote work environments if organisations provide appropriate technological infrastructure, effective communication channels, and support for work-life balance. The study concludes that WFH can be a sustainable work model for the IT industry if it is properly managed.
