Challenges of Remote Working PEST Analysis

DOI: https://doie.org/10.1006/BMEE.2024333773

Abstract

Improving the ideas of remote work is the current trend in human resource management (HRM). The COVID-19 pandemic’s quick spread and the governments’ imposition of infection control measures have severely disrupted regular workflows, which has led to a sharp rise in remote labor during the pandemic. This study primarily focuses on the difficulties associated with remote work using PEST analysis. Some of the difficulties associated with working remotely are social isolation, difficulty collaborating and communicating with others, working in different time zones, etc. Our research also examined the difficulties that employees have lately experienced during the pandemic. An increasing number of people working from home with little support, the area of research towards remote work has been expanding unstoppably. The primary issues that are raised regarding how employees perceive and are able to operate remotely during the pandemic are addressed and resolved. Innovation-related activities are now more globalized and digitalized than before. Organizations have been compelled to implement working remotely, reconsider their innovation management protocols, and comply with government directives.
