Summary
The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has caused complex change throughout the world and has impacted individuals and organizations, specifically in the context of remote work. As employee engagement has repeatedly been linked to individual and organizational measures of success, this topical paper aims to explore the intersection of remote work and employee engagement in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. While remote work has been on the rise in recent history, COVID-19 precautions and restrictions resulted in an abrupt increase in people working from home and, despite the challenges it has presented, available research indicates that the benefits found may result in a degree of remote work staying power post-pandemic. With a potential continuation in remote work, understanding the interplay between remote work and employee engagement in the wake of COVID-19 may add value to existing body of literature. For this study, available literature was reviewed regarding COVID19’s impacts on individuals and organization, remote work, and employee engagement. Major themes identified through analysis of collective in the literature among these topics include communication, connection, training, and work-life balance.
