Remote working
Also called: location-independent working
Remote working is a term for location-independent working. This is a work construction in which work is carried out remotely, i.e. not at the workplace provided by the employer or client. The main advantage of remote working is that it is possible to work from anywhere in the world. Both entrepreneurs, freelancers and employees can make the choice for remote working. In many cases, the ability to use remote working increases productivity and makes work processes more efficient.
Several remote working constructs can be distinguished:
- In the case of full-time remote working, all work will be performed at a remote location. The work is not tied to a specific workstation provided by an employer or client.
- In the case of part-time remote working, part of the work will be performed at a workstation provided by an employer or client and another part of the work will be performed from a remote location.
- In case of flexible remote working, the circumstances will determine from which location the work will be performed.
