abstract
This study investigates the challenges faced by 220 employees working from home (WFH) during the global shift to remote work, with a focus on the percentage distribution of difficulties encountered. The findings reveal significant percentages associated with various challenges, such as concentration problems (84.54%), distractions at home (91.36%), and communication issues (85.90%). Health-related concerns, including skipping meals due to workload (94.54%) and increased stress (90.91%), are also prominent. The study categorizes challenges into general, family, financial, social, behavioral, and psychological domains, highlighting the nuanced impact on employee well-being. This percentage-based analysis provides valuable insights for organizations seeking to address the multifaceted challenges associated with WFH, ultimately promoting a more supportive and sustainable remote work environment.
