Abstract: COVID-19 has shifted everyone to remote work. The paper discusses how employees have overcome various challenges to make most of the benefits of remote work. The benefits of remote work are flexible work arrangements, ease of working, access to global opportunities and positive impact on diversity hiring. The challenges of remote work are access to technology, tackling virtual distance and managing productivity. Exploratory research was conducted with a sample size of 93. Data was analysed using SPSS. The sample comprised of professionals who were working from home during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study verified the hypothesis using Spearman rank order correlation. The respondents are ready to overcome the challenges of remote work because of the benefits which remote work provides. Data verifies that hybrid workplace would enable to open doors for women on career break to reenter workforce.
