Remote working is slated to be the future of our global workforce. You might be more familiar with its old name: βTelecommutingβ. Whatever you call it, the flexibility to work outside an office is the logical next step in a world with smartphones and wi-fi.
2019 has been a big year in remote working, with about 66% of companies in the US employing remote workers. Working outside the office is no longer just for the self-employed or contract employees.
Around the world, 70% of professionals in traditional office jobs work remotely at least once a week. Technology is advancing and, with that, thereβs a trend towards an increasingly mobile business model. Both employees and employers benefit from remote working.
