Remote

Lesson 1. Introduction.

“Work From Home” - Probably the three most used words in the entire world in 2020.

In our imagination, the picture of an office worker was limited to a person, sitting in a small cubicle, lost in their computer, with a paper coffee cup with them until recent times. That’s what comes to mind when talking about an employee.

However, it is not the same anymore. Modern technology has been drastically changing this scenario since the last decade. A person no longer needs to commute all the way to an office to earn their living. They can do it right from their living room, or even from their bed, for that matter.

Of course, it is not possible to travel long distances daily for work. This results in the unavoidable firing of good employees. This is a major loss for most companies, as they have to hire new people and spend time and money training them. This also makes it more difficult for people to look for new jobs in an entirely new and unfamiliar place.

Remote working can overcome this issue with ease. The employees who need to leave can be offered an option to work remotely. They can stay wherever they want, and still work in the same company, with the same team. They can work as per their comfort, from their home.

Companies can also hire new employees from other states and countries, without needing them to move to the office location.  This increases the quality of employees that are hired.
