Evolution of Remote Work
The world of remote work has undergone significant changes since the publication of the first edition of the book in 2018. Initially, remote work was growing gradually, but the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated this shift drastically, leading to a greater acceptance and understanding of telecommuting. Key technologies that support remote work, such as Zoom and Microsoft Teams, were either non-existent or in their infancy at that time. This evolution in both technology and mindset reflects a broader change in organizational attitudes toward flexibility and the growing preference for hybrid work models.
