Four of our team members share how working from home has impacted their routines.

After three years of working from home, remote work has turned from novelty to routine. But getting used to it has changed our own routines.

We talked to a few InterNations team members about the impact of our (almost) fully remote work policy. While three are mostly enthusiastic about the changes in their personal lives, there is one dissenting voice.
