Working remotely provides advantages like comfort and flexibility but can also negatively affect psychological well-being. Research indicates that constant connectivity and potential isolation contribute to feelings of loneliness and stress. Additionally, individuals in remote roles may experience imposter syndrome, doubting their capabilities and contributions. This syndrome, characterized by feeling undeserving of success, becomes pronounced when working independently. To counteract these negative feelings, it is important for remote employees to recognize their true value and seek support for mental well-being.
