Eoin Clark, Managing Director of Switcher.ie said “This past year has completely changed everything we knew and were used to in our working lives. Many of us have been given a taste of working from home and what life could be like without the ties of an office. It’s no surprise that many people have had a taste of freedom and now dream of being able to ditch the office long term.
“Working from home gives you the flexibility to do your job from wherever you please, all you need is a good internet connection and somewhere to open their laptop. Not only does this offer a much better work-life balance, but it can save you money too by not having to live in areas with high property prices just to work. It can also cut the commute, saving you time and money every day.”
