ASSESSING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF REMOTE WORK MODELS ON ORGANIZATIONAL PRODUCTIVITY AND EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT

Abstract

The rise of remote work, accelerated by technological advancements and the global pandemic, has significantly transformed the work environment. This article assesses the effectiveness of remote work models on two critical organizational outcomes: productivity and employee engagement. By reviewing existing literature, empirical data, and case studies, we explore how remote work affects employees' ability to perform their tasks, their sense of involvement in the organization, and overall job satisfaction. The findings indicate that while remote work can enhance productivity through flexibility and reduced distractions, it also presents challenges such as social isolation, communication barriers, and a lack of work-life balance. The article provides actionable recommendations for organizations to optimize remote work policies to foster both high productivity and strong employee engagement..
