The concept of Work From Home (WFH) is increasingly becoming popular in the USA, thanks to the emergence of the ongoing gig economy. A 2017 study published by marketing research giant Gallup confirmed that more than two- fifths of working Americans had spent some time working remotely. WFH is now giving way to Work From Anywhere (WFA).This allows for complete geographic flexibility. Unnecessary costs get reduced, and one can spend time on specific interest areas as well. Employees are even ready to take a pay cut. Talent management personnel now need to draw up WFA policies, so that this sphere of work becomes formalized. This must include proper rules on the use of common tools, data sets and communication portals. The nature of work and level of confidentiality must also be considered, as all positions can’t be opened to the WFH or WFA modes.
