VOV.VN - Once viewed merely as a temporary solution during the COVID-19 pandemic, remote work is increasingly becoming a common labour trend in Vietnam thanks to its flexibility in time and location, as well as its ability to optimise productivity.

VOV.VN - Da Nang, Hanoi, and Ho Chi Minh City have been named among the world’s 10 fastest-growing remote work hubs for this year, according to details given by experts at Nomad List, a database of remote workers.

Vietnam is ranked 59th in the 2023 Global Remote Work Index (GRWI), which evaluates the potential of 108 countries to qualify as top destinations for telecommuting.

About half of the staff at State agencies and units are being encouraged to work from home in the ongoing effort to curb the spread of COVID-19 in Ho Chi Minh City.
