If you’ve come this far looking for information on how to work online, there’s a good chance you’re pretty confused.

And how can you be wrong? These are complex times, in which it is increasingly difficult to give a definition to names and activities that change at the speed of light.

Today, when we have understood that, if done well, working remotely can guarantee more productivity, more well-being, more balance between life and work? That companies large and small are making great strides by permanently sending employees home (in a good way)?
