perceptions of employees of a private company in the mobility sector

Abstract

Many organizations needed to adjust their way of working in an agile and assertive way due to the new coronavirus pandemic. Few already practiced or planned to join the home office modality before the Covid-19 outbreak. With the transmission of the virus spreading rapidly, the home office has become the best alternative for many companies. This article aimed to describe the perception of employees of a private company in the mobility sector about the separation between the working time and the experience of home during the covid-19 pandemic. Regarding the method, the research was classified as quantitative and descriptive, using an online questionnaire for data collection and descriptive statistics for analysis. As a result, it can be concluded that the quality of life, saving time and money are some of the main advantages of the home office according to the respondents. The difficulty of separating home routines from work and less interaction with the rest of the employees were disadvantages raised by some participants. Despite the negative points mentioned, the home office was an excellent choice for the organization to overcome the crisis and the covid-19, in addition to being very well accepted by employees.
