Telecommuting, or remote work, has become increasingly popular in the digital era, especially following the COVID-19 pandemic. The flexibility offered by this work model is believed to enhance work-life balance, productivity, and employee loyalty. This study aims to explore the challenges and impacts of telecommuting implementation at PT. AMI Raflindo using a descriptive qualitative approach. Data was collected through in-depth interviews and observations with employees involved in telecommuting. The findings reveal that while telecommuting improves productivity and job satisfaction, employees still face significant challenges such as household disruptions, technical issues, and limited social interactions that affect team effectiveness. Additionally, difficulties in time management and connectivity are common issues encountered. To address these challenges, this study recommends time management training, improved access to technology, and the creation of virtual social interaction spaces. Theoretical implications contribute to the literature on organizational support, communication, and time management in remote work environments. Practically, the study encourages companies to develop more flexible policies, provide relevant training, and strengthen employee relationships to create a more inclusive and productive work environment. The study is limited by a small sample size and interview subjectivity, but it provides important insights for better telecommuting implementation in the future.
