Description
In recent years, globalization has opened up different means for easy access to capital, people, technology, knowledge and opportunities, thereby resulting in a more diverse and inclusive work environment. The expansion of cross-border trade as well as the proliferation of the digital revolution has resulted in an acceleration of global trade. Companies, nowadays, seem to have diverse environments from where the employees can work – from the convenience of their home environment or from the cubicle of
their office. This has led to a distinct separation of the work environments into two main settings – at the home or office. Companies have also enforced different work practices accordingly, and are continuously improving them to improve their overall working culture and environment, which serves as an important factor for retention
and acquisition of highly capable workforce.
