A Global Workplace Analytics study estimates that 56% of the U.S. workforce holds a job that is compatible with remote work, which means that millions of Americans are working from a non-office location during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Our guide below covers everything hospitality professionals need to know about how to work remotely, from essential technology tools and self-care tips to how to communicate effectively, both internally and externally.
