Abstract
The novel coronavirus (COVID-19), a pandemic that has affected the globe, has threatened humanity in previously unanticipated ways, forcing citizens to rethink a broad spectrum of activities, including work to recreation, to simple travel and everyday duties. Which has had an effect not just on individuals, but also on countries as a whole, halting a host of economic sectors. This research employed the qualitative research approach. The convenience sampling was utilized to elicit the participants' perspectives on the effects of the WFH setup through an unstructured survey questionnaire distributed to 90 participants via google link, which included students who have worked from home (23.3 percent), government workers (31.1 percent), and private employees (45.6 percent). The findings were evaluated and interpreted in view of the documentary analysis. It has been discovered that the WFH setup is extremely comfortable, productive, and relaxing. The majority of respondents listed the various benefits of operating from home, such as preventing traffic or congestion, minimizing air pollution, enhancing economic conditions, and, most significantly, maintaining everyone's safety. The drawbacks, on the other side, can be used to strengthen the WFH technique. The research further stressed the potential considerations to be considered in the WFH setup, which include: employee-employer trust problems, well-structured WFH policies by different firms, evidence-based performance compensation, and motivation at work. In the future, the researcher would like to perform a series of WFH investigations to verify this study.
