Remote work has transformed modern organizational practices by providing employees with flexibility, autonomy, and technology-based working opportunities. Organizations worldwide are adopting remote work management strategies to maintain productivity, employee engagement, and operational continuity. This study explores the relationship between remote work management strategies and employee productivity by focusing on digital communication, leadership support, performance monitoring, employee motivation, and work-life balance. Effective remote work management requires organizations to develop clear policies, provide technological resources, and establish trust-based relationships between managers and employees. The article highlights that successful remote work environments depend on strategic planning, continuous communication, and employee-centered management approaches. Remote work can improve productivity by reducing commuting time, increasing flexibility, and allowing employees to manage tasks according to their working styles. However, challenges such as isolation, communication barriers, and technological limitations require effective organizational solutions. The study concludes that organizations implementing structured remote work strategies can achieve higher employee performance and sustainable productivity in the digital workplace
