Top 10 Work From Anywhere Companies
Being able to Work From Anywhere (WFA) means true freedom for many!
Despite the vast majority of employees saying they would prefer the freedom to choose where they work, there’s only a small percentage of companies that offer true Work From Anywhere.
Let’s take a look at why…
📊 Admin Complications: While Employer of Record (EOR) services like Deel & Oyster exist, they come with additional costs and administrative hurdles. Enabling employees to work from anywhere involves legal and logistical considerations.
🌐 Timezone Difficulties: Communication and coordination become complex when team members are spread across different time zones and organising online team activities can be challenging.
🎯 Recruitment Challenge: Hiring in unfamiliar markets comes with hurdles to overcome. Recruiting talent in locations where a company might lack knowledge or presence can be challenging. Understanding local talent pools, cultural nuances, and legal aspects isn’t straightforward.
💼 Tax Implications: Allowing employees to work extensively outside their country of residence can raise significant tax concerns for both the company and the employees. Different countries have varying tax laws, and prolonged work in different locations can trigger tax liabilities and compliance complexities.
