Working remote is not just a nice or convenient thing to do. Remote work is full of opportunities you might have overlooked, such as: 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 👉🏻 Giving disabled people a chance to work. Not everybody is fit to commute. That doesn't mean they are not fit to work. 🧑🦽 👉🏻 Giving people from poor countries a chance to earn a good and honest salary. They will get paid for their work & skills...not being discriminated against and paid less because they work from a poor country. 💰💰💰 👉🏻 Giving people who have left their home countries to pursue better economic standards a chance to return to their homes & family, while continuing the same job - remotely 🥰 👉🏻 Giving care-givers (people who give care to children, elderly or disabled people) a chance to work without leaving the people they care for at home - alone. 👶🏻🧓🏼 So, to all managers & business owners out there: Next time you decide upon remote work policies at work, keep in mind that enabling your teams to work fully remote is you saying YES! to giving people a real opportunity to live better lives. Work is not a place. Work is something we do. And having a great (remote) job shouldn't be a privilege. Do you agree? ❤️ #RemoteWork #WorkFromHome #WorkisNotaPlace #WorkFromAnywhere

Remote job openings are falling as companies push for a return to the office. Some experts say this is a wake-up call for workers. I think the opposite is true; I don’t think this trend will last. Why? Employees who’ve enjoyed the freedom to work from anywhere are not willing to go back to an office. Soon companies will struggle to find talent willing to put up with: 🚗 Gas prices, wear-and-tear on vehicles, car repairs ⏰ Wasted hours spent commuting 🧘🏽 Decreased work/life balance 👶 Childcare expenses 🥙 Pricey work lunches 💴 Higher prices of Tolls

In today's rapidly changing landscape, remote work has become more than just a trend—it's a necessity. And amidst these changes, we're discovering some unexpected benefits. **For Remote Workers**: Flexibility is key! Remote work allows professionals to balance their personal and professional lives more effectively, leading to increased job satisfaction and productivity. **For Parents with Virtual Schooling Kids**: Remote work offers a lifeline to parents juggling work and childcare responsibilities. By eliminating commute time and providing a flexible schedule, parents can better support their children's education while excelling in their roles. **For Families Facing Layoffs**: Losing a job can be daunting, but remote work opens up new possibilities. One parent being laid off and working remotely can provide additional support to the family, whether it's helping with childcare, household tasks, or even pursuing new career opportunities. Remote work isn't just about where you work—it's about how you work. Let's continue to embrace this new era of flexibility, support one another, and unlock the full potential of remote work for individuals and families alike. #RemoteWork #WorkLifeBalance #SupportiveWorkplace

Nurasyl Serik from Remofirst is absolutely right! This remote job decline feels like a temporary blip. Employees have gotten a taste of the flexibility and control that #RemoteWork offers, and there's no going back! Companies that cling to the old office model are going to miss out on top talent who value their well-being and time. Smart companies will adapt and offer flexible options to attract and retain the best people. #RemoteWorkRevolution #FlexibilityMatters #WorkFromHome #HybridWork

RPA has held fast to our decision to remain remote work first and we now have employees in 26 states. People I respect feel that this hampers the growth of juniors and can limit team collaboration, but I strongly feel that the benefits outweigh the drawbacks. The benefits cannot be denied: Since offering a remote work option, we have been able to hire GREAT people that choose not to or cannot afford to live in West Los Angeles. I have a chronic health condition personally, so the opportunity to work from home when I need to has helped me recover without having to step away. And we know that allowing and encouraging remote work creates safe spaces for employees who identify as part of historically disenfranchised communities. I very much hope this trend towards hybrid work can be reversed in the future.

If employers were witnessing all that I am as a workforce advocate, the smart ones would squash even a whisper of an RTO mandate. RTOs are antithetical to equity and diversity. If your company has an RTO mandate and has language about its DEI commitment on its website or in its job postings, it automatically will be deemed performative and inauthentic. In-office reporting increases by 2X workplace sexual harassment, sexism, and racism (as per a 19th News/SurveyMonkey poll). When you hire a candidate for an on-site role that doesn't need to be on-site, they likely already have one foot out of the door. I see this in many social media groups, particularly working mom groups, where people share candidly about the decisions they are forced to make. Road rage and distracted driving are on the rise. Commuting presents additional risks. The #1 reason, though, that RTOs just don't make sense is - the evidence that productivity is not improved by it. Profits are not improved by it. These are usually the main drivers of corporate decisions. RTOs are antithetical to for-profit companies.

Definitely agree it is beneficial to have a remote job because it offers flexibility, reduces commuting time and costs, improves work-life balance, and can lead to increased productivity and employee satisfaction. It also allows access to a broader talent pool and can reduce overhead costs for employers.
