Remote work has been promoted around the world in the wake of the new coronavirus infection (COVID-19) pandemic, but as vaccinations become widespread and the epidemic subsides, various companies are transitioning from remote work to office work. A British study reviewed various academic papers on remote work and analyzed the benefits and drawbacks remote work brings to employee health and productivity.
