Remote work is when someone does their job from somewhere outside their office, usually from home. Instead of going to work at an office, a remote worker can use their computer or laptop at home or even a different place to do their job. They could also use their phone or tablet. Some companies allow their employees to work from home all the time, while others allow it only sometimes. Working remotely can be a good way for companies to save money on things like office space, but it can also be hard for coworkers to keep in touch with each other without meeting in person.
