Overview

In the past, working from home was available sparingly as a special arrangement to accommodate specific cases. However, technological advancements and the Covid pandemic have made remote working an acceptable practice in many offices globally, to the point where some businesses thrive completely on remote teams.

Every year a large number of recruits join the workforce. In the dynamic and competitive world of work, better preparation can tip the balance to your advantage. And though remote work has commonalities, it is definitely not the same as working from an office.
