This research paper evaluates the influence of remote work on employees' productivity in the
Information Technology industry. Remote work has gained much momentum, especially as a
result of global events such as the COVID-19 pandemic, hence much attention has been
devoted to understanding its influence on worker performance, job satisfaction, and the
organizational outcome. The study considered the following essential factors which contribute
to a productive output of a remote workspace: work environment, communication, team
coordination, information technology infrastructure, and personal work style. It examines the
impact this remote work would have on an employee's psyche, motivational level, as well as
their balance between work and life-the core drivers of productivity. Based on both the
quantitative surveys with a quantitative measure and qualitative interviews among the IT
professionals regarding working from a distance and especially focused on performance metric
that consists of accomplishment of a job, innovativeness, and effectiveness, research has tried
to find precise issues and benefits. Findings allow for both the benefits and the drawbacks of
telework in the light of which forms of practice and policies, by an organization, ensure the
maximum productivity of its employees. By this paper, researchers contribute to knowledge on
telecommuting and provide recommendations and practice for IT firms looking at the use of
remote working without loss in, and indeed, an enhancement of productivity.
