Global Work From Home Day 2024: Date, Theme, History, and Significance

Remote work existed long before it was introduced globally during Covid-19 pandemic. Global Work From Home Day is a day to recognize and celebrate the benefits of working from home, and to encourage more people to adopt this work lifestyle. The Industrial Revolution led to the introduction of factories and office buildings, which disrupted the traditional routine of traders, who used to put up their wares at home and advertise for their services via word-of-mouth. Today, Global Work From Home Day gives both employers and employees the opportunity to experience the positive side of working from home. This day is the perfect opportunity for those who are yet to transition to a remote work model to practice and see how well they cope..
