Why remote work doesn't work for everyone
14Working from home became de rigeur during the pandemic and it has widespread benefits. People have been able to work from the comfort of their own homes while complying with Covid-19 restrictions.
Remote-first also meant companies could widen the net and hire abroad, effectively “pulling up global wages in developing markets in ways that would have been very surprising only a few years ago” according to Jeremy Johnson, CEO of software developer recruitment company Andela.

Jeremy Johnson and Kristin Luck were in conversation with Euronewss journalist Pascale Davies on the Remote stage at Web Summit 2021.
