The objective of this research was to assess and compare the effects of traditional and remote work environments on the productivity and performance levels of all stakeholders, including both people and organisations. The research was conducted to assess and compare the effects of both alternatives. An investigation was conducted to identify the similarities and differences between the two distinct types of work environments. The objective of this research was delineated to examine the relationship among these three traits. A quantitative approach and a basic random sampling technique were used throughout the study endeavour. The goal of this was to make sure that the data collected was accurate and reflected the group of people being studied. The study's results show that conventional workplaces and remote workplaces were compared, and important performance measures including productivity, task completion, and creative output were looked at. The study also looked at how traditional and remote workspaces affected the organisation, such as how much work was done and how well objectives were reached. If digital technology and management methods are applied correctly, working from home may have a lot of benefits, such more flexibility, happier employees, and improved productivity. There are some bad things about it, such the fact that people can't talk to or collaborate with one other. This is one of the things that it possesses. On the other hand, normal office setups were good since they let people work together and were always watched. These rules, on the other hand, made it harder for workers to find a balance between their personal and professional lives. This made it harder for people to express their independence and have a good work-life balance.
