The tech company of about 30 people began preparing to work from home about a month before Nova Scotia first called a state of emergency. El-Darahali said the new work-from-home option will be an either/or situation, where staff will choose between permanently working from home or permanently working at the office. That being said, El-Darahali said any companies that can reasonably have their staff work from home should consider doing so. He said he hasn't had a reduction in work productivity since his employees began working from home. According to Statistics Canada, an additional 3.3 million Canadians began working from home in April.
