Tiivistelmä
The purpose of this thesis is to find out what kind of impacts does remote working have on employees’ work motivation and ability to work. A survey was selected as the data collection method and to support the purposes of this thesis, it is important to find out employees’ experiences and opinions about remote work. The respondent group consisted of employees of a financial services company based in Finland. The survey was sent to 250 employees and 180 of them responded. The survey included questions about employees’ remote working experiences, such as; how their idea of remote working had changed, and what could be improved either in their own remote working habits or in the organizational remote work culture. According to the results, employees were generally very satisfied with remote working and majority of them were willing to continue it in the future as well. Respondents mentioned benefits such as more efficient working and better possibilities to concentrate, increased work-life balance and higher work motivation. However, they raised also some issues such as worsened ergonomics and decreased social interaction. All in all, remote working can be considered as an efficient way of working which has it benefits but also some challenges. Since it is a relatively new way of working, organizations could establish own instructions and recommendations for it. In that way, organizations could support their employees’ motivation and ability to work and show that they care about their employees, which can increase the employee engagement.
