Remote work is on the rise with many contributors including:
— companies hiring outside of office areas
-employees moving away from expensive metro areas
— tech improvements to connect visually

The work from home trend is rising;)

Is the future of work remote? For many companies, it’s already a reality.

A remote workforce affords many cost-saving advantages with few downsides. With a remote team, you don’t have to add to your overhead with real estate rental costs. Additionally, you can control your labor costs by paying remote freelancers by the job, and best of all, you have a near-unlimited talent pool to draw from since you aren’t restrained by the geographic bounds of a physical office.

But running a remote team successfully requires certain tools and strategies. Remote teams often have flexible schedules and may work odd hours. You don’t see your coworkers or employees on a daily basis, except by way of video conferencing. The lack of in-person touchpoints makes it essential to emphasize written communication and collaboration skills.
