IMPLEMENTATION OF REMOTE WORK POLICY IN THE ICT INDUSTRY
Keywords:
Implementation of remote work policy, ICT Industry, work-life balance, performance and productivity, work hours and availabilityAbstract
Data from 161 analyses of the replies were conducted to ascertain the effects of telework on work hours, workplace productivity and performance, and accessibility to a healthy work-life balance. The results demonstrate that telework has a positive impact on work, better performance and production, as well as life balance. Nevertheless, there were problems with hours of labor and availability. Even though younger workers frequently benefited more from telework, factors such as sex, marital status, and work-life balance were not significantly influenced by education or wealth outcomes. The report highlights the need for tailored strategies to improve telework laws and meet the particular needs of different ICT industry employee associations.
