The start of the COVID-19 pandemic had a dramatic impact on remote work. Prior to it it was the exception and during and after it became the norm. Remote work refers to a working arrangement where employees perform their job duties outside of a traditional office environment, typically from home or another location of their choice. This mode of working has gained significant popularity, not only due to the COVID-19 but particularly due to advances in technology. In 2023, we observed a shift where companies have asked employees to come back to the office a couple of days every week.. This is very often referred to as the Hybrid Model.
