The Impact of Remote and Hybrid Work Models on Organizational Productivity and Employee Well-Being

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the global shift toward remote and hybrid work models, transforming how organizations function and how employees perceive work. While these models offer increased flexibility and potential cost savings, their implications for organizational productivity and employee well-being remain complex and multifaceted. This paper explores the benefits and challenges associated with remote and hybrid work environments, analyzing their impact on productivity, collaboration, mental health, and work-life balance. Drawing from recent studies and real-world examples, the paper proposes strategies to optimize the effectiveness of these work models in the post-pandemic world
