Virtual workforce

These days, it is entirely possible to run a thriving business with no central office.

IT is just after lunchtime on a Monday, and Yasmin Rasyid walks into her office in Taman Tun Dr Ismail, Kuala Lumpur, carrying not just her laptop and work stuff but also with her eight-month-old baby and her eight-year-old daughter in tow. Perhaps in the previous millennium, this would have been quite a sight. But in today’s world, work, home and family could well occupy the same space.
