Abstract
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic that emerged in 2019, the traditional full-time working model was replaced by alternative working models. The current standard working model -with the progress of Covid-19- was abandoned by companies, and various companies have preferred the remote working model. This article was conducted to reveal the effects of remote working on employees and to offer suggestions for employers. This research was designed as qualitative research. Data were collected by phone calls or Zoom meetings over a semi-structured interview with 20 people working in various sectors and experienced in remote working. The results showed the disadvantages of remote working, such as communication problems arising from the inability to communicate face-to-face and extended working hours. It is recommended that countries adapt their laws considering the effects of remote work, and companies can prefer the hybrid model instead of office work.
