Have we got the terminology wrong when it comes to “Remote Working”?
Should the terminology really be “Local Working”?
 
With the development of working hubs outside the main cities and the practice of working from home, people are working locally to where they live.

This simple change in terminology is more meaningful as there has been this perception that “Remote Working” was something one did off grid in the back end of nowhere.

Local Working means that large, medium and small organisations can have a footprint in all kinds of communities throughout a region or a country. It makes these organisations local with local communities buying into their wellbeing and success. Imagine the pride a small rural town would have in being able to say Linkedin, Google, Facebook, Amazon etc have a presence in our town with some of their team working in the local hub. Imagine also the many benefits this brings to these organisations in the form of positive brand image, greatly reduced overheads along with local loyal talent to name just a few.

Local Working it’s the way forward #team #success #linkedin #talent #brand #amazon #facebook #people #workingfromhome #development #wellbeing #change #google #remoteworking
