Summary/Abstract: Until 2020 organisations gave their employees the opportunity to work from home as a perk intended to provide for favourable working conditions. The spread of COVID-19 and the restrictions imposed by governments made organisations worldwide switch entirely and in a very short time to remote work where the nature of the job allowed it. In these new working conditions, organisations changed their policies and employee engagement became one of the most common issues in recent research. This article is aimed to study employees’ attitudes of engagement with their organisation when working from home as well as the factors that could increase employee engagement. The results from the author’s two-stage survey of employees in Bulgarian organisations show that their engagement with the organisation has not decreased despite the long work from home due to the pandemic and the challenges associated with it.
