The rate of remote work in the EU rose from 11.1% in 2019 to 20% in 2022.

The use of digital tools and the possibility to work remotely can carry the risk of an ‘always-on' culture. We want to ensure workers’ rights and well-being are prioritised in this #digital age.

That’s why this week we launched the first-stage consultation of European social partners on fair telework and the right to disconnect.

God I wish we were still in the EU!

Please take it a step further and increase workers rights with travel allowances. This would discourage companies as an incentive not to travel and help the environment

I refuse to use my personal devices for work and I turn off my work devices when I'm done with work. That is how I make sure I have my own time after work.

Definitely a problem that needs solving but personally I would say it's more important to force employers to actually let us work from home. Personally I got lucky but many of my colleagues have to fight against non-arguments about how important on-site work is for team building and productivity. All while the same managers that force them to come to the office constantly work from trains, planes and hotel rooms.

And then, how about the rate of outsourcing to India since remote-work has been "assimilated" by western managers?

Since COVID, I had 2 clients on which they replaced locals by remote indian "shared centers".
