Abstract
This chapter discusses work/family interconnections, theory, and the interventions that organizations have put into place to help employees manage their work/non-work boundary, such as flexible work options.

This chapter discusses the benefits of remote working for employees and organizations, the challenges of remote working, and the ways to make remote working be successful in organizations. Finally, the chapter looks at remote working globally and what the future of remote working may look like.
