No matter where you live, there are companies that are working to build the future online workplace. Some firms are dedicated to making work life easier for employees. For example, Glassdoor says that company culture and practices at Glassdoor.com put employees at ease.

Remote Working - the New Normal
Whether we like it or not, working from home is now the new norm – particularly post COVID-19. Just as water enters our homes through pipes, the same goes for technology. As the world grows ever more connected, so does the world of work. Even the geographic location of our work has shifted as the growing demand for communication and productivity has spilled over into more remote working. The move to work from home will likely become a more widespread trend over the next decade.
