Abstract

The Constitution of India, 1950 lays down the right to life and under this right the healthcare and well-being right also available. Work models that are hybrid have several advantages. They enable workers to combine their personal and professional life by giving them the option to work from home or the office. This flexibility can promote work-life integration, raise morale among employees, and increase job satisfaction. The organizations may cultivate a sense of empowerment and trust among their workforce, leading to increased productivity and engagement, by allowing employees to select where and how they work. This study explores the constitutional aspects focusing on the right to health in remote working and projecting the work-life balances.
