Work from home (WFH) set-up has been offered by the private and public organizations as an alternative way of working for their employees. WFH has both advantages and disadvantages for the workforces when it is compared to the work in the office. This paper aims to describe the role of Information and Communications Technology (ICT )on employees’ work-life and working relationship as well as personal life and relationship. Individuals may in like manner use ICTs to be more productive however it has negative impact on individuals and outcomes when the cutoff points among work and home are clouded through ICTs. While working indirectly offers different points of interest to agents and improves execution according to organizations, consistent transparency and bringing work home using ICTs can have suggestions to amicability between harmony between serious and fun times. When ICT use is linked to increased productivity and availability in work correspondence and cycles, it promotes work commitment. However, when innovation is used to induce interference, it leads to an increase in business-related burnout among agents and a reduction in work responsibility.
