Louisa Meehan used to be unusual, because for the last seven years she has operated her mediation business Woodview HRM from her home in Wicklow.
She said this decision transformed her life, allowing her to reduce stress, while combining work, family, community and acting as President of the Network Ireland group.
The big win for her is time. Not only because it has reduced the hours she spent commuting to work in Dublin, but because she can control how and when she works.
But since last March, thanks to the pandemic, literally overnight hundreds of thousands of workers have joined Louisa in converting to working from home, whether they wanted to or not.
