This qualitative study used the Burke-Litwin organizational change model as its primary framework to understand the lived experiences of community college educators who were first to transition to remote work during the 2020 global pandemic. The purpose of this research was to examine the lived experiences of community college remote workers in terms of the organizational and wellness support received from their higher education institutions. The study's goal was to identify key takeaways and factors to provide actional recommendations for higher education institutions to remediate organizational and wellness support and resources. In total, 15 participants who actively worked in community colleges as staff members during the pandemic were selected based on their roles as remote workers. The study additionally drew from an existing and emerging literature review, an analysis of publicly available data on websites, and individual interviews. Nine findings related to participants' lived experiences attributed to lack of organizational and wellness support, direction, and resources that impacted overall wellness, work-life balance, and self-efficacy. The majority of participants demonstrated technical and conceptual knowledge over remote work configuration and autonomy but remarked a consistently absent leadership. The study also found an organizational lack of awareness over business continuity and disaster recovery (BC/DR) planning, remote work adaptation, and fluid wellness resource allocation. Recommendations are presented to assist educators and the colleges on improving wellness resources and remote worker inclusionary practices for enhanced output. These findings provide actionable items for supporting community college remote workers. [The dissertation citations contained here are published with the permission of ProQuest LLC.
