The pandemic has a deleterious impact on many aspects of life, including work. Organizations had to devise new working arrangements to retain their workforce. One of the widely used setups is remote working. It is a working setup where employees work in the comforts of their homes.

They will also be able to save money on human labor because other jobs will be vacated. Therefore, both employers and employees benefit from the arrangement, and it is critical to raise awareness and understanding of the work arrangement.
