2. Reduced Overhead Costs - Save on office space, utilities, and other overhead costs.

3. Increased Productivity - Studies show that remote workers are often more productive than their office-based counterparts.

4. Improved Work-Life Balance - Remote workers can better balance their professional and personal lives.

Challenges of remote work in Kenya:
