Many people will say that work from home and remote work have gradually become synonyms. However, there’s a slight difference. Work from home typically refers to the situation where employees work from an office, but choose a day or two in a week to telework. This could be for a change of scenery, to take care of dependents, or simply because the option is available. Remote work usually means the employee doesn’t need to come to an office at all: telecommuting is their default work model.
