The future is WFH: empower your career remotely

article content banner


Flexible working is here to stay. In the aftermath of the pandemic, many global organizations - including Andela - adopted a remote-first culture, building a business model around the lifestyle and productivity benefits of working from home.

As a remote-first company, Andela believes that no matter where you're based in the world, you should have the ability to fine-tune your work-life balance and create your ideal workspace, on your terms. As far as we're concerned, whatever location you feel most productive in is your office!

June 29th was National Work From Home Day, and regions across the globe are embracing the future of work. This new world of work is made of new working relationships, standards, and possibilities, with an emphasis on growing your career over working hours and office location.

WFH requires a different kind of self-management and responsibility, allowing you to take control of your career and work life. As more technology organizations promote remote roles, the opportunities for technologists to design their own work are endless.

But why should you WFH? Find out how the remote workplace can empower your career!

  • You can work for a global company from the comfort of home: Gone are the days of moving across country, or even continents, for a job. Now, you can work for one of the world's most exciting global organizations from the comfort of your own home or a remote work location of your choosing. This has widened the job market and increased the potential opportunities for technologists, meaning they can access senior-level roles at competitive rates, without having to compromise on their location. Organizations are reaping the benefits of creating teams from across the globe, ensuring more diversity and opportunities for collaboration between team members with different skill sets and educational backgrounds. It's a win win for both technologists and organizations!
  • You can design your own work day: Are you more productive in the morning, preferring to take meetings in the afternoon? Or would you rather get your meetings out of the way so you can spend the rest of the day focused on work? Whatever your work preference, remote roles enable you to design your work life to fit around your personal life.
  • Cut the commute and increase your productivity: Why spend two hours or more a day commuting into an office when you can choose a flexible, convenient workspace, at home or at a remote location of your choice? By saving the time you'd spend commuting, you can enjoy a relaxing coffee, spend time with loved ones, or catch up on your to-do-list. By working remotely, you can save money on travelling, and improve your health by aleviating stress and getting more rest - as an Andelan, you could have access to high-quality healthcare benefits too (region permitting). Plus, being a remote worker you get to work to your own schedule, allowing you the time to get ahead on your projects and boost your productivity.
