Who would have thought just a few months ago that the concept of remote working would become normal for most of us? And people’s response to this new reality has been really interesting to watch. Many businesses have seen their employees embrace the opportunity to manage their work lives in their home environments, and as a result, have become more productive without the usual distractions of the workplace. No more unnecessary meetings; no time consuming travel; all essential meetings taking less time; higher productivity levels; happier employees; embracing of new technology. Whilst this new way of working and running businesses remotely is not possible for everyone and every business, the potential advantages are definitely being felt by many. Having spoken to many women entrepreneurs across the continent during this challenging period, remote working is definitely going to become a permanent fixture for their businesses going forward once this crisis is over.
