What is a Work From Anywhere scheme? 🌎

A Work From Anywhere scheme is the ultimate flexible work arrangement. It allows employees to work from any location they choose, whether that's their home, a co-working space, or a different country altogether. With the right tools and technology, work from anywhere schemes help you stay connected and productive, no matter where you are in the world.

Unlike remote work, which often still requires employees to be based in a specific city or country, work from anywhere schemes give employees the freedom to truly work from any location. This means you could spend a month working from a villa in Italy, followed by a few weeks in a cabin in the mountains – the possibilities are endless!

It's worth noting that Work From Anywhere schemes may have tax implications, and you may be restricted to working abroad for a limited number of days each year. It’s best to check with your company on this before you jet off. 

The benefits of working from anywhere

So, why should you consider a Work From Anywhere job? Here are just a few of the incredible benefits:

1. Ultimate flexibility: With a Work From Anywhere scheme, you have the freedom to design your work life around your personal life, not the other way around. Want to travel the world while still advancing your career? No problem!
2. Increased productivity: When you have the ability to work from environments that inspire and motivate you, you'll be amazed at how much more productive you can be. Say goodbye to the distractions of a noisy office and hello to focused work sessions in your ideal setting.
3. Better work-life balance: With a work from anywhere job, you can structure your day in a way that allows you to prioritise both your work and personal interests. You can also spend more time with family in different countries without having to use up your annual leave.
4. You have more autonomy and control: Working from anywhere empowers you to take control of your work environment and schedule. You can choose the best setting for their productivity, whether it's a quiet home office, a cosy cafe or a vibrant coworking space.

The difference between digital nomads and Work From Anywhere schemes

Digital nomads vs Work From Anywhere: the key difference between Work From Anywhere schemes and digital nomads is that nomadic individuals will reside and work abroad and travel around. Whilst Work From Anywhere schemes are for employees based in a specific country, and the schemes are restricted to the number of days they can work abroad to avoid the challenges that arise with tax legislation. You can find out more about the pro’s and con’s of each here.
