Abstract

Aim and purpose: The study aims to find the correlation between the Work from home strategies and their influence on work-life balance including organizational and personal factors.

Methodology: The researcher has answered the research questions through a quantitative research method (using SPSS) and an ontological approach. The primary survey was collected through faceto-interaction with forty participants belonging to the IT sector in the month of July.

Results: It has been analysed that WFH policy has negatively affected the work-life balance and organizational and personal issues are equally helping to influence the participants’ opinion.

Conclusion: It has been concluded that participants have affirmed that their level of productivity has been reduced during WFH. However, the majority of them are satisfied having quality time with family. Females were observed to support the WFH policy more than men that indicates that this policy can be gender-specific to some extent.
