With the great shift of the professional world to telecommuting and the widespread acceptance of the concept among initially sceptical businesses, the traditional idea of work-life balance is changing in new directions, including the concept of remote work-life travel.

He planned to fly back to the United States in May …
Trust is an essential part of any successful business. When employees trust their employer and vice versa, it creates a transparent environment and creates a sense of security for everyone. But what to do when the usual trust indicators are no longer available? Building trust while working remotely is not easy. This can be difficult without physical cues, “water cooler” meetings, or the ability to physically monitor productivity. However, trust is not a commodity that a distant business can live …

Digital nomads are a subset of remote workers. Not all telecommuters want to change their geographic location; many are happy working from home, others have family obligations that would make travelling difficult and some have to commute to the office from time to time. For those who can and want to travel, being a digital nomad means – exploration, saving money and challenges—it’s a lifestyle choice and an increasingly popular choice! In 2019-2020, the guys at MBO found that the …
Self-Awareness Self-awareness is critical to relationship building and trust, especially in any remote environment. The fact is that people want to learn and be guided elsewhere. The GitLab CEO goes so far as to reveal his communication preferences and flaws, which require a high degree of self-awareness, a low sense of shame and a bias for transparency. Self-aware supervisors are open about their literacy and communication preferences, allowing those who report to them to communicate without obfuscation. Be mostly susceptible …
Julia Cummings, a remote worker at a Los Angeles-based software company, said her job gives her access to almost anything she might need. She can check the financial results of her company, and the salaries of her colleagues and look at the notes of participants in all the meetings – indeed those that she did not attend. She receives credit for unlimited books and receives a fixed salary of $1,000 for development work. The company’s required 15-day minimum vacation policy, …
For some forward-thinking companies that previously valued authenticity, COVID-19 has barely made a dent in that aspect of their office culture. For others, it’s a kindly bigger change, moving from unspoken disapproval of inappropriateness to neutrality because there’s no other choice. And in some workplaces that simply cannot arrest their doubts about individuality or manage their paranoia about their workers’ legacies, COVID-19 may force workers to do work that is stronger than the one before them. But really, these workplaces …
Digital nomads used to be thought of as twenty-somethings backpacking from hotel to hotel looking for a place to plug in their laptops. However, flexible work and home-schooling have helped create a new kind of digital traveller who wants to see the world and make memories with family. A recent Lonely Planet review called it “the anywhere worker.” Most of the anywhere-workers can be placed in high-tech jobs and 61% work full-time. About 70% of the people in this ranking …
