Abstract: The COVID-19 epidemic accelerated the adoption of remote and hybrid work paradigms by upending traditional work structures. This study looks at how these work arrangements affect the work-life balance of employees in the Pune area. Data is gathered from workers in the business, IT, and services industries using a descriptive study design. The study investigates the effects of remote and hybrid work on flexibility, productivity, stress levels, and personal well-being. Results show that while working remotely increases flexibility and lessens the stress of commuting, hybrid models provide a balanced approach by fusing social engagement with flexibility. The study comes to the conclusion that, in the post-pandemic era, hybrid work is more viable for preserving work-life balance.
