2020 has been a year of change for many people and companies. One of the biggest changes in the workforce is the ability to work remotely. While working remotely can provide for greater flexibility, it has also brought about more challenges in managing a workforce.
Employees are no longer confined to a fixed office but have also pushed the boundaries of whether it is needed to be in the same city, let alone the same country. These work arrangements under this 'new normal' have created huge obstacles for HR professionals when tackling issues of employment tax, immigration, and other HR-related concerns.
