Despite the best efforts of a few leading tech companies, including Amazon and Dell, hybrid and remote working is still very much flavor of the month. Citing travel costs and low productivity, workers increasingly favor approaches that emphasize flexibility – and put their concerns at the center of any prospective policies.

Is Remote Working Right For You?
If you’ve found this article, you’ve probably already decided remote working is for you. And from the cost savings to the greater work-life balance, we don’t blame you. Combine this with the fact that lots of workers are more productive without the distractions of the office, and it’s no surprise that mandatory office returns are a dealbreaker for so many.
It is important, however, to consider the drawbacks. An emerging body of research indicates that remote employees are more isolated than their in-office counterparts, which is having a damaging impact on employee wellbeing and attendance.
And that’s not all. Choosing to work from home could hinder your career progression, with 41% of executives admitting that remote employees are less likely to be promoted, due to concerns around cultural fit. Bias, perhaps, but dismiss the consequences at your peril.

So, if you’re looking to up sticks and relocate, there are literally hundreds of opportunities to do so within the tech space, not to mention in other industries.
