Abstract

This research aims to study the challenges and remedies of Work From Home (WFH) during the COVID-19 pandemic. Many organizations around the globe are forced to let employees work from home, but very limited studies have highlighted the challenges of this working method. The research used a qualitative method through gathering data via six interviews from organizations in Malaysia. The research highlighted challenges of WFH in several themes, including lack of motivation, less socializing, pay cuts, a slew of distractions, low communication, and safety issues. The study limitations included pandemic restrictions, which could be overcome by using video conferencing software. Future research is recommended to test the relationships of the challenges with the performance.
