While she does advocate for at least some in-person work for the sake of collaboration and team building, Aries says she’s learned that remote work offers much-needed flexibility for employees.

They don't know when to stop working,” Mitchell said.Over the past couple of years, Tony Gagliardi, the Colorado state director for the National Federation of Independent Business, says employers have learned a lot about remote work.
That same survey found that Colorado was one of the four top states during that time to allow work from home along with Washington, the District of Colombia, Maryland and Massachusetts.
