What is a remote worker?
A remote worker is someone who works from home, or from a location outside the office.
The term “remote” is often used to describe a worker who is not in the office, but it’s important to note that not all remote workers are “off-site.”
A remote worker may be working from home, but it’s not always the case. For example, a remote worker may be working from a hotel room, or from a client’s office.
There are pros and cons to working remotely. For example, you may be able to save money on rent or utilities.
But there are also downsides to working remotely. For example, it may be harder to meet with people in person.

What is your biggest challenge with working remotely?
Here is a list of the top 10 most common remote work challenges and how to overcome them.
- Lack of Face Time
One of the biggest challenges for remote workers is that they don’t get to see their colleagues face to face. As a result, they miss out on valuable information and can’t ask questions or share ideas.
This can be particularly problematic when you’re trying to work on a project that requires collaboration, such as a new product launch or a new website.
When you work remotely, you’re not as invested in the outcome. You’re more likely to give up or not even try.
2. Not Seeing Your Colleagues
Another big challenge is that you don’t get to see your colleagues. You can’t ask questions or share ideas. You don’t get to see their faces or hear their voices.
