Evaluating The Impact Of Remote Work On Employee Performance And Organizational Productivity: A Comparative Study Of Traditional And Remote Work Environments

Abstract

By comparing and contrasting remote work with conventional office settings, this research finds out how each affects organisational productivity and employee performance. Employees have more control over their work schedules and locations when they operate remotely, thanks to digital communication tools and flexible work arrangements. As a result, workers are more likely to be happy in their jobs and experience less stress, which is good for their health. A better work-life balance may be possible for individuals who work remotely since they don't have to spend time commuting each day. This frees up more time for employees to focus on either work or personal pursuits. There are still those who are worried about the downsides of remote employment. Collaborative efforts and organisational culture may be negatively impacted by challenges including isolation, communication breakdowns, and reduced team cohesiveness that can occur in distant environments. Additionally, concerns about responsibility and performance evaluation may arise in remote work settings due to the absence of direct supervision. Using data from both conventional office work and remote work, this research compares and contrasts these aspects to provide a thorough assessment. To assess and compare performance and productivity results across diverse contexts, metrics including task completion rates, project milestones, organisational key performance indicators (KPIs), and employee engagement surveys are used with suggestions for improving performance while reducing possible problems connected with remote work arrangements, the results should help shape organisational policies and strategies for implementing remote work.
