The COVID pandemic of 2020 brought about many drastic changes to our lifestyle, but one of the most affecting changes was that the work-from-home model that many of us had been rooting for in recent years was embraced in full force! Honestly, most of us couldn’t be happier about this. Studies show that 96% of employees want to continue remote work after the pandemic, and 80% of executives say they will continue allowing remote work after COVID. It is expected that, but 2025, 87% more Americans will be working from home than before the pandemic. It seems like both employees and their employers are finally in agreement that working remotely has benefits for everyone. However, 94% of remote workers still report that they face challenges when working remotely. Some of these challenges are due to the fact that the internet simply is not yet equipped to handle the demand of employees connecting to their company networks remotely. From poor connection, to poor security, it’s time to find solutions to the problems and to simply make the internet work better to suit the needs of our “new normal.”
