Many companies are now seeking to do flexible work and remote work arrangements. Yet, many countries such as the Philippines still do not have the infrastructure in place. In most Philippine households, internet connection is unreliable. Two or three generations living under one roof in many Philippine households. Work from home may not be the ideal solution for most. During the new normal, coworking spaces will be key to business survival.
