Remote Work is Not New, but it is the New Normal
2020-04-02 10:46

For me, being a remote worker is ideal and ensures that I can balance work and home life successfully.

We've seen plenty of articles sharing advice on how you can be effective working at home and the like, but what experienced remote workers - and often the authors of these pieces - forget is that this is uncharted territory for most.

Being forced to work from home without advanced notice to properly prepare can be a real challenge.

When we work from home, most of us will use a VPN. It makes our work computer behave as if we are in the office, saves on extra authentication and, in some cases, is the only way to access corporate information.

If your corporate policy allows it, don't automatically load the VPN when you start work - use it when needed and unload when you don't.
