Evaluating Productivity and Well-Being: A Comparative Study of Remote Work Versus Office Work

  • Unique Paper ID: 171510
  • PageNo: 458-468
  • Abstract:
  • The Work From Office concept is traditional and is a MUST for employees whose roles require them to be on-site, but office-based staff can avail the facility of remote working/ Work From Home. Though the Work From Home (WFH) concept has its roots since World War II, the concept has revolutionized the traditional office-based work and has been widely adopted by a majority of companies across the globe after the COVID-19 pandemic. This study compares remote working and work from office concepts. It consists of a survey which helped us better understand the pros and cons of these two work arrangements. It is obvious that the decision will be taken by the stakeholders involved in each organization viz. the employer, who seeks to receive better productivity from its employees and the employees who work hard for their organizations and both these stakeholders try to achieve the proper work-life balance along with organizational growth. The survey uses a research questionnaire to collect views and opinions from respondents. It is not always wise to choose one of the available alternatives, but one may go for a mixed strategy involving benefits of available alternatives and reduce the flaws or limitations of them.
