Remote work refers to a work arrangement where employees perform their job duties outside of a traditional office environment, often from home or other locations. Instead of commuting to a physical office, remote workers use digital tools like computers, internet connections, and communication platforms (email, video conferencing, messaging apps) to collaborate with colleagues and complete tasks.
This model of work offers flexibility in terms of location and often working hours, which can lead to increased work-life balance. Remote work has gained popularity, especially with advances in technology and during events like the COVID-19 pandemic, which accelerated its adoption. While it offers benefits like reduced commuting time and more personal freedom, it also presents challenges such as potential isolation, the need for self-discipline, and the blurring of boundaries between work and personal life.
