Understand Remote Work

Remote work is working from home or other locations away from a usual office location. It is increasingly common and has remained popular since the pandemic. It has both advantages and disadvantages.

Employees can choose their own work location and cut out commuting. It also often enables people to work at times that are most convenient to them. On the flipside, remote workers can feel isolated, unsupported, and often don't get the training they yearn.

Generally, working remotely can be a positive experience. In many cases, it yields more effective work outcomes. But remote workers need to understand the situation, then prepare for each work period well in advance. Employers also need to recognise that not all workers are cut out for remote work.
