A top workplace priority for employers is to attract and retain talent in a buoyant employment market. Reports have shown that jobseekers are more likely to apply for roles that allow remote working. Offering flexibility on where people work can also help employers retain talent. Many businesses are also facing labour and skills shortages and looking at ways to recruit the talent they need including from abroad. 

Since Covid travel bans were lifted, the opportunities for remote working from abroad have opened up with more employees exploring the benefits of becoming ‘digital nomads’. Digital nomads are people who use technology to allow them to carry out their work from anywhere in the world. Some companies have embraced the trend and adopted flexible working arrangements that give their employees the opportunity to work from abroad.

Though the concept is appealing, the practicalities of digital nomads working in different jurisdictions exposes both employers and employees to a variety of risks.
