With the rise of telecommuting and remote work, the conventional idea of work-which places a strong emphasis on being physically present in an office setting- has experienced a dramatic paradigm shift. Employees can now work efficiently from locations other than their physical offices thanks to the development of internet-based communication tools like email, video conferencing, and project management software (Nilles, 1998).This evolution has been further accelerated in the 21st century, where organisations increasingly recognise remote work as a strategic approach to enhance flexibility, productivity, and employee satisfaction (Bailey &Kurland, 2002). When it comes to India, the concept of remote work began to gain visibility with the expansion of the IT and service sectors in the early 2000s. However it became a mainstream employment model only after the COVID-19 , which forced IT companies for remote work arrangements on a large scale. Indian companies as well as MNC’s operating in India introduced hybrid work policies to maintain productivity and ensure employee well being (Business Todat,2020). Remote work provided numerous benefits namely having the flexibility to work anywhere, saving of costs and increased autonomy (Gajendran & Harrison, 2007).enEmployee Engagementwork-life balancetext::report
