Original Abstract

This study investigates the employee productivity experience of the business managers from CEE countries with the worldwide home-office phenomenon in the context of the global COVID-19 pandemic. Qualitative method with an exploratory approach is used, especially a phenomenological design was adopted for this study. Through Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA), the specific experience of managers was examined and subsequently an effort was made to understand the situation. Findings explain that working from home has provided advantages and disadvantages for organizations as an essential part of sustainable human resource management. The interviews showed that it is possible to manage and evaluate employees according to their performance, not according to attendance at the workplace, and that their productivity has not declined significantly. However, this current situation offers a unique vision of the pros and cons of working from home and may play a vital role in future strategies that will reshape the existing structure of working hours, possibly allowing for more flexibility.
