This is attributed to fewer interruptions and increased focus resulting from the absence of commuting times.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Better_Work-Life_Balance_for_Remote_Workers\"><\/span><strong>Better Work-Life Balance for Remote Workers<\/strong>&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Another key finding is the better work-life balance experienced by remote workers due to increased flexibility.

The insufficient technology infrastructure, the need for cultural shifts, and the potential for social isolation are hurdles that demand attention.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yet, within these challenges lie opportunities for growth and innovation. Addressing technology gaps can drive investments, fostering a supportive work culture can enhance organizational resilience, and countering social isolation can lead to more robust employee engagement strategies.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Adapting_to_International_Realities\"><\/span><strong>Adapting to International Realities<\/strong>&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The report indicates a preference for short-term international remote work arrangements among companies.
