As work arrangements evolve, balancing productivity and flexibility in working from home (WFH) remains a key consideration for organisations and employees.

While flexibility offers greater autonomy, it also brings expectations around performance, discipline, and accountability.

Dr Mohd Herry Bahador, from the UTP Department of Management, will be featured on Selamat Pagi Malaysia (RTM), sharing insights on “Productivity vs Flexibility in Working from Home (WFH)”, including its impact on performance, key challenges, and the role of employers in supporting effective work arrangements.

The discussion draws on his background in business management, particularly employee workload, job performance, and organisational behaviour, as well as his published work on the implications of workload on employee performance.

We invite you to tune in.
