Abstract:

The pandemic caused by the Covid-19 virus has significantly altered the lives of a great number of people, particularly the working world. It came as a surprise at the time and was much more labor-intensive than it had ever been before, but one of the most remarkable reasons was the shift toward working from home that many office employees made. The work for the thesis was intended to investigate the influence of the pandemic on the common idea of working remotely, as well as the recommendations and best practices that flow from that idea. An assortment of work-related results from before and during the epidemic were investigated and put to the test through study based on empirical evidence. The author gathers the data with the help of questionary that was distributed among workers of a selected company. The discussion of remote labour in this context is relevant due to the fact that the voluntary aspect of it has, to a large extent, been lost as a result of the epidemic. According to the findings of the study, the consequences continue to be very idiosyncratic and contingent on a wide range of external and internal elements, such as: stress Level, motivation and distraction level, and how those factors impact on a working productivity.
