Remote working. The Coronavirus pandemic has left offices around the globe empty and is speeding up a revolution in home working. Many companies are asking their employees to work from home.

Remote working was on the rise even before Covid-19 struck. Given the digital revolution, rising rents and increased demands for flexible working, telecommuting was becoming more mainstream.

Remote working tools are increasingly being deployed. Conferencing tools such as Zoom, Skype, Webex, coupled with new collaboration tools like Slack have made it easy for employees to work remotely.

Prepare adequately. Brands have to prepare their workforce for this future of work. They should adopt robust tools and ensure they are secure. Cloud companies need to also play a pivotal role in this.
