How do you think remote work will evolve in the next 5 years?

I think companies will be more effective at leveraging it. It requires a whole different mindset and system than on-site. So the more time they have to develop better systems and learnings the better it will get.

I think there will be a significant shift toward hybrid work models. Companies will increasingly adopt flexible policies that balance the autonomy of remote work with the need for in-person collaboration, creating a more adaptable and inclusive work environment.

Employee will have more choices and freedom.

I don't like remote work at all. I hope it ends. That said, I would like to see satellite offices all over a city instead of centralized to downtown or business districts. That way commutes are short (walk, cycle) and you still have to/get to work in the presence of others. (I'm dreaming, I know it's impossible)

It should be a trend

Is trending to more self employment and will be accelerated by the AI wave.

I believe that remote work will continue to grow, with more companies adopting flexible work arrangements as the norm. There will be an increased focus on optimizing productivity and maintaining team culture in remote settings. So remote work may be the next standard practice.
