Remote work has become a transformative force in today’s professional landscape, offering employees the flexibility to work from anywhere with an internet connection. Embracing digital tools and virtual communication platforms has not only revolutionised traditional office dynamics but has also empowered individuals to achieve better work-life balance and increased productivity. With the rise of remote work, organizations are reimagining the future of work, prioritizing flexibility and adaptability in their approach to employee engagement and performance.
To address this change Visionary Analytics staff joined the international team of partners in a Horizon Europe project “REmote-working Multiple impacts in the Age of disruptions: socioeconomic transformations, territorial rethinKING, and policy actions”. The study aims at delivering a policy-oriented framework reflecting the new and multi-faceted realities of remote work (RW), facilitating policymakers to adopt place-based policies balancing the opportunities and risks of RW and sharing practices to foster mutual learning on RW in the novel scenario of megatrends and shocks. These objectives will be achieved through participatory research activities across 4 case studies, each addressing a different form of RW (digital nomadism, post-pandemic, highly-skilled in hi-tech sectors, and enforced remote workers). The 4 case studies encompass overall 7 countries: Italy, Greece, Portugal, Germany, Czech Republic, Ukraine, and Ireland.
The study generates an impact on socio-spatial transformation processes across second-tier cities and rural areas in terms of improved planning, design, and implementation of multilevel policy, promotion of territorial socio-economic resilience and development, and advanced understanding of RW multiple impacts.
