Remote work, also known as remote working or telecommuting, refers to the practice of carrying out professional activities outside of the traditional office or workplace. This involves employees working from a remote location, often from home or another location outside the office.
Remote work enables employees to complete their tasks and projects flexibly and independently without being tied to a fixed workplace. This can be implemented through various working models, such as regular remote working, hybrid working models (part-time in the office, part-time remote) or temporary remote working in certain situations.
The benefits of remote work include a better work-life balance, less commuting time, increased flexibility, greater autonomy and potential cost savings for employers and employees.
However, remote work also comes with challenges , such as the need for good self-organization, maintaining communication and collaboration within the team, and coping with potential distractions or isolation.
