The way we work today is a lot different from the way people worked just a decade ago. Freelancing is now a full-time job for many; 9-to-5 weekdays are being replaced by round-the-clock availability of independent consultants; and alternative work arrangements are becoming common throughout firms from global multinational corporations (MNCs) to local, bootstrapped start-ups.
Independence from a desk means that more people are engaging in a flexible working model. People are working from their homes, from coffee shops, and even from beaches while wearing shorts and flip-flops.
