What is Home-Working?

Even before the global pandemic made

working from home temporarily routine for

millions, increasing numbers of people had

been moving away from the traditional

office space. This is made possible by the

evolution of Cloud Computing and

telecommuting.

If working from home was not beneficial to

the company, it would not be possible,

however incentives to move the work force

out of the office come in the form of:

- Lower organisational costs.

- Boosted employee productivity.

- Lighter carbon footprint.

Common jobs acquired by telecommuters

include Education, Software Development,

Data Entry, Customer Services and Virtual

assistants.

Amazon, Dell, Stryker, Philips and Lenovo

are among the top 100 employers taking

advantage of the telecommuting society.
