It’s true that the advancement of technology has impacted and changed many aspects of everyday life, from the way we exchange information to the way we communicate. Software such as Skype and Facebook, for instance, allows us to share pictures, messages and phone calls instantly in real time, regardless of where we are in the world. Apart from communication however, there is another aspect of our lives that is transformed by technology that is discussed to a lesser extent: the ability to work from anywhere in the world with WIFI. More specifically, people now have the option to work remotely over the internet from the comfort of their home, without having to go to an office of a company. This relatively new phenomenon is called remote working and employees who are working remotely are often referred to as freelancers. In this short article we will examine briefly the characteristics of remote working, its advantages and how it can be an attractive option for you.

It is interesting to note that, remote work has been adopted by numerous companies over the years due to its flexibility. Some of the biggest and most well known companies such as Google, Facebook and Apple are giving their employees the ability to work remotely. It’s evident therefore that, this kind of work has a lot of advantages. What are these advantages you may ask? Perhaps the biggest advantage of remote working is its flexibility and efficiency. All that workers need, for example, is a computer and an internet connection in order to work on their projects. That makes remote work an excellent option for people that have a disability or health problems. It gives them work opportunities that they may not have otherwise.

Additionally, it is an excellent option for jobs that can be completed using computers such as copy-writing, programming, editing videos, voice over reviews and more. Another major advantage is that, remote working allows you to configure and adjust your own work schedule which means that, you can work whenever you feel most productive and taking breaks more often, and, perhaps most importantly of all, having the option to spend more time with your family.

There is another major advantage in remote working though; it can allow projects to be continued regardless of disasters and disruptive events. A perfect example of this is the outbreak of Coronavirus. Due to the outbreak many workers are unable to return to work which in turn means that business must be put on hold. This is a major hassle for companies because this delay is translated into financial loss. When employees have the option to work from home though, this is no longer an issue, work can resume normally without delay.

Coronavirus-fueled directives could increase acceptance of working at home.
