This study's goal is to investigate the connection between the results of remote work (RW) and how that affects firm performance (FP). Using an empirical study of 128 IT professionals in a representative sample. Information was acquired through organized questionnaire interviews with business management. RW and other workplace flexibility practices were studied for their effects on FP using multiple regression analysis, and the mean differences in flexibility dimensions between businesses were analyzed using a t-test. The study's findings show that FP has a positive relationship with RW indicators such communicate frequently and well (CFW), encouraging work-life balance (EWB), maintaining interest and productivity (MIP), and providing accessible technology (PAT). The use of flextime, employee participation in job planning and design, rigorous results-based management, and the usage of variable pay for remote workers are all increasing in IT organizations. Businesses become more adaptable as a result of management stressing the value of work-life balance, assuring employee interest, and giving accessible technologies that will boost business performance. Understanding the interactions amongst management and the impact on the organization requires an understanding of the linkages between the various remote working indicators.
