DEEP DIVE: Remote work

Spotify chiefs say 'work isn't where you are. It's what you do.' While Dell and Amazon say RTO - or GTFO.

The COVID-19 pandemic forced companies and employees to work remotely. In the wake of this disruption, employees and employers have found that remote work presents exciting opportunities.

For workers, remote work can provide greater flexibility, improved work-life balance, and a shortened commute. Employers can also benefit from reduced overhead costs, increased productivity, and access to a wider pool of talent.

However, remote work also poses some serious challenges. One of the biggest is maintaining communication and creating a sense of community among remote workers. Another challenge is ensuring that remote workers are not exploited and that their rights are protected.

This is the crux of the issue. When it comes to remote work, employees can feel more disposable since employers do not build the same level of empathy and relationships as they do with office workers. This is because remote workers are often "out of sight, out of mind." As a result, the lines between employee and contractor can become blurred.

Despite the challenges, remote work is here to stay. It is therefore vital to find ways to make it work for both employers and employees. This includes establishing clear communication channels, creating a sense of community, and ensuring that remote workers' rights are protected.
