The term "digital nomad" was new until February 2020. For the last weeks, most of the GCC workforce is remote working. This is going across industries and functions that didn’t consider the remote options before.

KEY POINTS
• Companies are enabling remote work to keep business running while helping employees follow social distancing guidelines.
