This is a very good question and to be honest, I can't give an exact answer. Before the Coronavirus pandemic, I would have said no, remote work wasn't the future of employment. Although certain jobs were done remotely from home, I would have said that the future was going to be the majority of people working in the office.

Yet during the global pandemic when many of us went into lockdown, I began to think that this was the case. Thanks to technologies like Zoom and Microsoft Teams, employees were able to work from home. As such, it seems that remote work was going to be the wave of the future.

Now that we are out of the global pandemic, many employers have insisted that their staff come back into their place of work. Whilst many people have gone back to work in the office, many other employers have come to the conclusion that it is cheaper and easier to have their employees work from home.

Whilst it is too early to say which approach will become the future of work, I would say that ultimately working remotely is most likely to be the way of the future. The reason I believe this is because as technology improves and better versions of technologies like Zoom, etc come about, these will show employers why it can be more beneficial to have their employees work from home. For one thing there would be no need to pay rent on an office space or pay out for things like office supplies, etc.

This is my view at the moment but I am willing to accept that things may change again very quickly and the return to the office model eventually wins out.
