With Covid-19, companies all over, were forced to adapt to remote work models. Few months during the initial lock down seasons, there were concerns, there were ambiguities and questions for remote work and work from anywhere concepts. However, communication and collaboration technology advancements have proved for us the ability to get the same job done, no matter where in the world we are with almost equal or sometimes even better efficiencies.
Research and studies shows that
Remote Work is here to Stay Longer and is indeed a Future of Work.

The industry segments highly benefited by remote work include, but not limited to, Educational Services, Professional-Scientific & Technical services, Management, Finance and Insurance, Healthcare technologies, Real Estate etc. Technology advancements like IoT, AI, ML, Industry 4.0 have enabled smart and remote manufacturing as well.
