Swati. M. R, Nikhitha. N
The adoption of work from home arrangements, accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic, has significantly transformed the work place dynamic, influencing employees' productivity, work life balance, and mental health. On one hand, WFH has provided flexibility, allowing employees to save commuting time, balance personal responsibilities, and create personalized work environments. This flexibility often leads to improved job satisfaction and increased efficiency for self-motivated individuals. However, the shift has also presented challenges. The lack of physical separation between work and home has blurred boundaries, leading to extended working hours and heightened stress. Many employees report feelings of isolation due to reduced social interaction with colleagues, which can impact collaboration and morale furthermore, not all employees have equal access to reliable technology or conducive home environments, exacerbating disparities in performance and satisfaction. The shift in how we work highlights the need for organizations to adopt. By creating supportive policies, investing in the right technology, and focusing on employee well-being, companies can make WFH more effective and sustainable
