Abstract

Little research has been done on the remote working from an overall management and swot analysis instead, the majority
of the literature that has been written on the topic has been on the advantages and disadvantages of working from home
through a perspective of the company, employee, and society. Work from home has managed to seek importance during
and after the pandemic situation, working from home has been encouraged millions of workers worldwide because of the
anxiety and threat posed by the Covid-19. Since it is a strong likelihood that remote work will persist in this "new normal,"
organizations must carefully create and execute a remote working culture.
This review study, which is in line with strategic planning, looks at the body of research and attempts to pinpoint a distant
working SWOT Analysis that would be helpful in the present "new normal" environment. Four topics have been defined
and identified from the literature study using the thematic analysis approach, helping the paper achieve its goal. The review
took into account the literature from the conceptual and empirical investigations on remote working that have been carried
out over the previous many years.
