The COVID-19 pandemic drastically altered the global work environment, compelling organizations to adopt remote work arrangements at an unprecedented scale. As the world transitions into the post-pandemic era, the sustainability and long-term impact of remote work on employee productivity and job satisfaction have become critical areas of focus for both scholars and practitioners. This study investigates the relationship between remote work, employee performance, and job satisfaction, while exploring the evolving human resource (HR) strategies that emerged during and after the pandemic. A mixed-method approach was used, combining quantitative surveys from 150 employees across multiple sectors and qualitative interviews with 10 HR professionals. The findings indicate that while remote work significantly enhances productivity, work-life balance, and autonomy, it also presents challenges such as reduced social interaction, team collaboration issues, and mental fatigue. The study highlights the shift toward hybrid HR models, digital performance management, and wellness-oriented policies. The paper concludes that sustainable HR strategies must emphasize flexibility, inclusivity, and digital competence to maintain organizational resilience in the post-pandemic future.
