The pandemic was for many, a period of great difficulty, as millions of people around the world struggled to adapt to a new way of life. One advantage, however, was the growth of remote and flexible working opportunities.
Working from home is extremely convenient for a number of reasons, whether that is the lack of a commute, the comfort or the resources you save, such as time, energy and money. That being said, not everyone’s home is set up for work, whether that’s unreliable internet or a lack of quiet space etc.
