Abstract: The main aim of this study is to understand how remote work and hybrid work culture affect employee productivity and work-life balance. After COVID-19, many companies shifted to work-from-home and hybrid models. This study examines whether employees are more productive at home or office and how their personal life is affected. The research also identifies benefits like flexibility, time saving, and comfort, as well as challenges like stress, lack of communication, and work-life imbalance. The study is based on survey data collected from employees of different age groups. The findings show that while remote and hybrid work improve flexibility and reduce travel stress, they also create challenges in maintaining boundaries between work and personal life. The study concludes that hybrid work is the most balanced approach for employees and organizations.
