Translation

In the last few years, the way of working in Japanese companies has changed significantly. In particular, the number of companies adopting remote work, where you work from home, has increased rapidly. Remote work has the great merit of eliminating commuting time. Since you don't have to ride crowded trains, stress is reduced and time spent with family has increased. On the other hand, there is also the problem that it is difficult to distinguish between work and private life at home. In future business, working efficiently without being bound by location is required. It has become a very important era to think about the best way of working for yourself.
