Factors to Reduce the Challenges of Remote Workers: A Case Study of IT Companies in Pakistan
Abstract
Remote work has become a major trend in Pakistan’s IT sector, but it also comes with challenges for employees. This study explores how companies can help make remote work easier by focusing on good HR practices, supportive leadership, meaningful work, and work-life balance. Using a survey of 208 remote workers from leading IT companies like Systems Limited, Devsinc, NetSol, Confiz, and NBit Softwares, we analyzed how these factors impact employees’ experiences. Our findings show that when companies invest in employee development, promote inclusive leadership, and create a positive work environment, remote workers feel more engagement, motivated, and satisfied while doing jobs. This study highlights the importance of strong workplace policies and leadership strategies in making remote work more effective and enjoyable. The insights from this study can help companies improve their remote work setups as well as support their employees better.
