Abstract:Remote work has transformed the modern workplace, offered flexibility while introduced challenges to social relationships and mental health. The shift away from in-person interactions has led to increased isolation, strained work-life boundaries, and diminished professional networks. Mental health concerns such as loneliness, burnout, and decreased motivation have also been observed among remote workers. To mitigate these effects, strategies such as virtual social engagement, clear boundary-setting, mental health support, and hybrid work models are essential. As remote work continues to evolve, addressing its psychological and social impacts will be crucial for fostering a sustainable and healthy work environment.
