Digital Nomadism
Digital nomadism is on the rise. What it means to work from anywhere in the world, its benefits and challenges, and how organizations can embrace this trend.
Many countries now give one-year visas to workers that can do their job remotely now. Among them are Barbados, or Estonia. Working from Wi-Fi-connected cottages in Sweden or US has become a lot more attractive since work went digital for many people during the pandemic. There has never been more interest in digital nomadism. Airbnb reported the amount of long-term stays nearly doubled in 2020. One stud shows that the digital-nomad population in the US increased by 50% from 2019 to 2020. Many companies now allow their staff to work remotely indefinitely, and surveys have shown that many people want to continue to work remotely in some way. This can be at home or in a seaside cottage, or even a ranch house outside the expensive city they have been living in before. Now, people don’t live where their work is, but they work where they live.
