Remote work is good for business, and the world

Al Jazeera  

In the last few months, as it became clear that the rapid spread of the novel coronavirus would eventually overwhelm health services, governments around the world started to mandate social distancing in public places to protect their citizens. It has also been established that remote work leads workers to take fewer sick days and less vacation time, resulting in more workdays overall. The business world’s apparent move towards remote work is good news not only for companies themselves and their employees, but also for the wider society and the environment. Businesses can help the fight against climate change and protect public health by continuing to support remote work where possible even after the end of this pandemic. Remote work would also help reduce some of the disadvantages women have in the workplace and contribute to maternal and infant heath.
