Background of the Study
Remote work technologies, including communication platforms, collaboration tools, and cloud computing, have become indispensable for businesses, especially during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. IT firms, which heavily rely on technology, were among the first to adopt remote work practices (Nguyen & Martin, 2023). These technologies enable employees to work from any location, thereby improving flexibility, reducing overhead costs, and maintaining business continuity. However, concerns remain about the impact of remote work on employee productivity, collaboration, and work-life balance. This study aims to evaluate the adoption of remote work technologies and their impact on employee productivity in IT firms in Gombe State.
