"The Evolution of Remote Work: A Growing Trend"

Remote work can be done at home or elsewhere, meaning workers do not need to go to the office. Remote work has been around since 2010, but this type of work re-emerged and developed rapidly at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, which impacted the policy of staying at home for a long time. After the COVID-19 pandemic, this type of work continued and became a trend because it provided convenience. According to a survey conducted by Deloitte Global, 55% of companies worldwide allow their employees to do remote work. This refers to the suitability of the opinion said by Julie Brightley-Davies, Head of Global Mobility, RELX: "HR and businesses need to determine how much support they want to give to people who work remotely because of personal choice versus business needs. How do you manage it from a business perspective? And how do you get your people to work together as a team? All of these things need to come into play.
