## What is Remote Work?

**The remote working** concept is that work does not have to occur in a specific area to produce results. You can complete tasks and meet objectives from wherever you want. 

**Remote work** is the ability to work from home or any other location other than your company's **workspace**. Often, it involves creating a **workspace** at home. 

If you've ever worked from home, you know how distracting it can be. Every time you step away from your computer, there are one or more distractions.

That's why it's beneficial to have a specialized **workspace** at home.

Your **remote workspace** should be a location where you can be most productive.

**Remote workers** have more control over their schedules. They can start and stop whenever they want as long as they get the work done and produce positive results. Remote workers are more productive when they have control over their schedules.
