From the perspective of social development, remote working will gradually become an office trend in the future. Is remote working a good idea?

It is! Saved me a lot of commute time. However, I feel more connected in an office environment and get things done more quickly as sometimes I have to rely on emails and Slack replies while in the office, I could have just asked.

@hannah_dao Basically agree with you, commuting time is saved, but communication cost is increased. However, can we solve this problem through some remote collaboration tools？
@hannah_dao @witt_teo I've been working on this problem for some time now... you can see a demo video here: https://youtu.be/L2Z0nLDVycw
I think it will save overall on office space and costs, so it is a great idea for reducing costs overall along with making things more convenient for the employee.
It's also better for the environment since they don't have to drive to work.
@richard_gao2 Yes, remote working can save office space and office equipment for the company, can break the regional restrictions, recruit more high-quality talents, and for workers, can save commuting time and transportation costs, but if the enterprise lacks systematic remote work management, workers lack the self-discipline of remote work, then remote work is not so simple.
I think it's already a trend now though. Nothing beats connecting personally but nothing can't be done either by remotely working :)
It is. The time you'll spent trying to get to and from work can be utilized more with other important tasks
Remote work is a vivid management trend nowadays. Virtual work is a preferable option in case you have a reliable online project planning and management tool. It'd be great if such software contains collaboration functionality. I recommend to explore GanttPRO (https://ganttpro.com/) - an award-winning project management software that focuses on professional planning and project management with the help of a Gantt chart.
Creating projects is simple and quick in GanttPRO, and the drag & drop features make it easy to add new tasks, create dependencies, assign resources, track progress, manage dates, and, if needed, change data.
