How New Technology Will Change How You Work from Home - 1 Million for Work Flexibility
A recent Gallup poll found that 37 percent of the U.S. workforce has telecommuted--a fourfold increase over 1995. Once a fairy tale perk that was likely unachievable in most positions, telecommuting is quickly becoming the norm for companies, both big and small. And with the growth of what has been dubbed the "Gig Economy", or the practice of companies hiring independent contract workers for various projects instead of having a team of full-time salaried employees, there is no doubt that there will be a rise in the use of home offices as well. And as this remote work revolution transitions our cubes into homier workspaces, technology is constantly evolving to keep up with changing needs of remote workers. From artificial intelligence assistants to virtual reality conferencing and web-based organization applications, the introduction of new types of technology will change how we work from home.
