The Impact of Remote and Hybrid Work Models on Human Resource Management Policies A Study of IT Professionals

The quick use of remote and hybrid work setups has changed how companies operate, especially in the Information Technology IT field. This study looks at how these new ways of working affect Human Resource Management HRM policies, with a focus on IT workers. The research shows how usual HR tasks like hiring, training, evaluating performance, keeping employees engaged and balancing work and personal life have changed to fit the flexible nature of remote and hybrid work. The study used a descriptive design, mainly through surveys, to gather IT employees views on changes in policies and how these changes affect productivity, teamwork, and how much employees care about their organization. The results show that while remote and hybrid work offers more flexibility, lowers employee turnover, and increases job satisfaction, it also brings challenges like assessing performance, keeping communication open, and keeping the company culture strong. The study suggests that HR managers need to create new policies that use digital tools, support employee well being, and encourage inclusive practices that work well in flexible work environments.
