To evaluate the statistical evidence of a relationship between remote working and employee performance. In this moment, merchants need more than ever the support of their workers. Only if the human resources management includes the full management of staff can manufacturers cooperate effectively. Employee training and development is "essential" since highly motivated and engaged staff will certainly provide consumers great service. Covid-19 has dramatically changed lives worldwide since November-December 2019. The questionnaires had been distributed using google forms, and the collected data had been analyzed using the SPSS statistical tool as for the interviews had been conducted using Zoom/ google forms due to COVID 19 pandemic. The questionnaires administered were directly backed up by three research assistants. The secondary evidence includes data obtained from researches undertaken by other scholars. The researcher had maintained data from previous articles and journals and had been mentioned in the literature review of this research. The respondents are uncomfortable in allowing the assessment of responses, particularly if pre-coded options are open. They also allow anonymity and if correctly administered, cannot allow interviewer prejudice. The key data pack for gathering data on the attraction, performance, utilities and development of independent variables, employment management and in certain situations, contingent variable of corporate performance are questionnaires.
