Telecommuting is an adaptable schedule, where employees don’t have to leave the comfort of their homes or zones in order to perform their assigned duties but are able to work from home or any location instead of a traditional office environment.

Working from home, aptly called remote work, is becoming very popular in Nigeria due to improvements in technology and changes in how people want to work with more flexibility.

One of the main attractions about working from home is flexible time management and choice. You can work at times that suits you and also, be able to take care of personal things too. That way, the employees can have control over their schedules, balance their work and responsibilities effectively.

Another thing is that companies don’t need to spend scarce resources on acquiring office space and provision of office furniture plus fixtures.

The companies can hire the best workers from all over the world, not just from their local area. A strong argument is that teleworkers can be more productive because they can work better at home with fewer distractions, and this gives them an added own velocity to meet deadlines.

However, there are challenges inherent in engaging remote work. For instance, Nigeria’s internet infrastructure is still developing, and connectivity can be poor in some parts of the country. Additionally, frequent power outages can disrupt work, affecting completion circle deadlines for certain tasks.

While it is agreed that remote work requires good communication tools, one area of concern to analysts is security. Remote work increases the risk of data breaches and cybersecurity threats. It is important for organizations to implement an all-encompassing security protocol to insulate it from the identified and other security threats.

Overall, there’s the imperative for employers and employees of an organization to work together to find solutions. A good way to cater for the perceived threats is by investing in good internet connectivity, providing backup power, and using effective communication tools.
