Managing Employees Working from Abroad - A Guide for HR & People Managers

Introduction

Hybrid or fully remote working is now the default working pattern for a significant proportion of office-based and other roles. Both candidates and existing staff are increasingly viewing the possibility of such working arrangements as a basic workplace requirement. However, what happens when an employee asks to work from overseas, either on a permanent or temporary basis? What issues should you bear in mind? Is it possible and/or wise for employers to have a policy allowing staff a period of overseas remote working?
