UNDERSTANDING THE IMPACT OF "WORK FROM HOME" ON WORK AND LIFE DOMAINS FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF EMPLOYEES

Abstract

Technological advancement has allowed people to work from anywhere remotely connected through the internet and it's popularly called working from home. Like working from the office, working from home also poses some challenges to employees, and dealing with them is highly important as it can affect the employees' personal and professional life which will eventually hamper the growth of the organization. Balancing personal life and work is crucial in any mode of work. In this research, we tried to cover almost all the challenges in the questions form an employee can face while working from home. In this research, we asked questions to 345 professionals who have experience working from home using online forms. The results have been interesting as most of them face one or another type of problem. Although the majority of people have said that they would like to split the time equally between their normal place of work and home in the future, people do prefer to work from their normal place of work when the restrictions of the pandemic are lifted, more than those people who would like to work from home.
