Some argue that one of the many advantages of the current extraordinary situation we\u2019re facing\u00a0<\/span>is\u00a0 that<\/span>\u00a0the virus has brought about a spike in the practice of remote work.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Telecommuting was not considered as being normal practice in a number of countries for a number of years and a shift towards more\u00a0<\/span>family-friendly measures resurfaced in recent years across the European Union<\/span><\/a>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Prior to the COVID-19 outbreak many employers may have not been fully exploring the potential of remote work.
