Remote working

Remote Means… not in the Office. Wild concept? we know!

If your job post says “remote” but also expects people to show up twice a week, that’s not remote — that’s part-time commuting with a side of confusion. Call it hybrid, call it flexible, call it “we like seeing faces sometimes,” but don’t call it remote. Mixing office days with “remote working” is how you start trust issues before the first login. 😄

Some still treat remote work like witchcraft — if they can't see you, surely you're horizontal on the sofa with Netflix. These minds probably still send faxes and believe coffee breaks are for the weak.

However, if you need someone in the office, post it as a HYBRIDE job! In this case, it's then clear to everyone that you need your staff to be in the office from time to time. In some people's minds, working from home is still synonymous with laziness and being unfocused.

Do you know that the majority of the time people are absolutely not focused is during office hours? Crazy commuting by car — and worse, by public transportation — too much chit-chat, coffee breaks, and meetings that lead nowhere. Yep, that is a fact! Do you want to prove us wrong?

Remote ≠ Lazy. Remote = Logical, lean and flex.

Remote work didn’t arrive with a cape and a Zoom account. It was always on the menu — we just needed a global panic to press start.

Turns out, a laptop and decent Wi-Fi usually do the trick. How shocking! ha 😄

Some call it “the new normal.” Not true. Flexibility was always around, we just didn't dare ask for it, we all followed century of way of working and thought there is no other way.

Now? People want to pick up their kid and their KPIs without forgetting play with their pet — and it works most of the time. If your team clocks in from four time zones and still delivers? You're doing it right

Remote work is a business necessity and not a perk

Remote work isn’t a reward or a temporary fix. It’s a structural change that puts people, performance, and the planet first. Yes, the planet!

Asking employees to return to the office  two or three days a week may look like balance, but for many, it reintroduces the same stress they were trying to leave behind. The office, for some, is a space of pressure, subtle politics, and constant performance. Remote work breaks that cycle. It offers calm, privacy, and the freedom to work without the weight of social dynamics.

That said, not everyone thrives at home. Some find energy in shared spaces, clarity in routine, and comfort in face-to-face collaboration. The office can be a place of connection, structure, and focus — especially for those who feel isolated or distracted elsewhere.

The point isn’t to erase the office. It’s to stop assuming it works for everyone!

Remote work also opens the door to global talent. You’re no longer limited to hiring within commuting distance or relocating skilled professionals across borders. People work from their own homes, their own offices, in their own cities — and they deliver. The result is a broader, more diverse candidates, without the cost or complexity of relocation.

There’s also the environmental benefit. Every commute avoided means fewer emissions, less congestion, and more time spent on things that matter — whether that’s deep work or genuine rest.

It is not offering flexibility as an extra advantage; it’s about adapting to current reality and needs. Remote work supports mental health, protects vulnerable staff, and makes companies more sustainable.

The office was never just about the work. It was about control. What we need now is nuance.
