Why Remote Work Is So Hard—and How It Can Be Fixed

Sarah Best

3rd June 2020

Here is an interesting perspective on some of the challenges that people face when working remotely.

Not all jobs can be completed working from home, but this article explores the recent history of this type of work, and what can be done to improve the conditions for those that do.

In a changing global environment, even before the impact of Covid-19, companies may continue to ask certain employees to work from home going forward.

The article could be used for Global Development, and Work, Poverty and Welfare (social class - it is important to note that many traditional blue collar workers do not have the opportunity to work from home due to the key worker/crucial roles they play in society).
