Working from home is not an entirely new concept. Plenty of professionals have, in one way or another, telecommuted to their jobs in the past few decades.
The COVID-19 pandemic changed the concept of remote work due to widespread adoption by businesses toward the start of the pandemic. Having employees work from home was an effective way for companies to remain active and profitable while also protecting staff from the serious public health risks posed by the disease.
As a consequence, remote work went from a known, if somewhat uncommon, arrangement to a widely shared experience. While opinions of individuals can range from absolutely loving working from home to never wanting to deal with it again, the overall sentiment toward it is positive.
Businesses are beginning to recognize that a significant number of employees enjoy working from home, whether occasionally or on a full-time basis.
Our video, “Will Working from Home Become the Norm?,” takes a look at the response of employers related to the growing demand for telecommuting opportunities. It also reviews an unintended advantage that companies have found through work-from-home programs — an advantage that could benefit staff looking to change and grow their careers as well.
