Abstract
The COVID-19 epidemic has shaped the major disturbance of all living in the history, disturbing billions, in more than 200 countries. Staying home because of lockdown were put into practice as the desirable act to reduce the affect and have a control over the spread of the disease. The COVID-19 epidemic brought the concept of working from home (WFH), the novel method of work for personnel. Many had to shift, abruptly, for the first time to distant work and without any groundwork. Accepting this flexibility in work was a deliberate option that needed time, groundwork, and getting adapted to efficiently support output for ensuring balance in life and work. COVID-19, though, the outburst has considerably required most administrations to accept this style of work. Few studies described pros and cons of remote work. The effects of WFH were sightseen. Other side of coin speaks the necessity to inspect how work from home, as a “innovative method” has exaggerated the sustainability and and efficiency of staff by stating precise circumstances in work during the COVID-19. The purpose of this work is to explore the impact of WFH from the survey done considering stress, adaptability to work environment, work satisfaction, time management, health, well-being, and anxiety with data collected from different individuals under different age groups both male and female. The results examined the work from home experience among the individuals had both positive and negative influence, respectively, on workflow.
