Remote work is when employees can work outside of a central office location. They complete their job through technology and a strong Internet connection. 

During the pandemic, remote work was critical for employers and employees. 

Remote work has different levels. This depends on the role involved, preference, or commitments. 

• Fully remote: Fully remote positions are 100% remote and allow employees to work from wherever they’d like.
  ‍
• Temporarily remote: These positions are remote, but only for a limited time. 
  ‍
• Partially remote: Also called hybrid work, this refers to jobs where employees spend half their time in the office and half their time working remotely.
  ‍
• Remote-friendly: This approach refers to a company that allows remote work but also has employees working in the office.
  ‍
• Remote-first: This is when employers see remote as the default. A few organizations might have an office space, yet they don't anticipate that workers should come in consistently.
  ‍

Remote work is demonstrated to have many advantages, for both the employer and employee.

• Encourage and improve work-life balance: A balance between work and play is one of the essential reasons why individuals decide to work remotely. Working remotely permits employees to have greater flexibility and command over their regular routines. It eliminates commutes and workers can invest more energy with their loved ones.
  ‍
• Minimize expenses: Working remotely saves employees transport costs. It also saves companies overhead costs, like renting a large office space and providing equipment, among other expenses.
  ‍
• Access to a global talent pool: Since remote workers are generally location-independent, employers are no longer restricted to a specific location to hire in. Employers have the opportunity to access global talent that fits exactly what they need.
  ‍
• Boost productivity and employee experiences: Remote work allows employees to prioritize their work rather than their commute. At home, employees may also feel more focused at home with fewer distractions. As a result, employee performance will increase.
