Working from home
Teleworking is performing job duties from a location other than a central office, typically from home, using telecommunications technology.
The practice became widespread during the COVID-19 pandemic: Our company shifted to teleworking in March 2020.
Also called remote work or working from home.
The noun is telework; the person is a teleworker.
