Working from home has more or less become the norm for many. With many businesses realizing that work from home is more cost-effective and productive, they have given up offices and shifted entirely to a remote workforce. However, this comes with its own set of challenges. With the workforce distributed around the country or even the world, employees need tools that will smoothen the process and reduce the distance among themselves. For example, here are the top 10 tools that should be present in the arsenal of those who work from home.
