Working from Home

Working from Home Definition

Working from Home (WFH) refers to a flexible work arrangement where employees perform their job responsibilities remotely, typically from their homes, instead of commuting to a central office location. This arrangement relies heavily on digital communication tools, cloud-based software, and internet connectivity to facilitate real-time collaboration and productivity. WFH has become increasingly prevalent due to advancements in technology and changing workplace norms, accelerated further by the COVID-19 pandemic (Dahlstrom, 2021).
