SEO Agency Reboot recently introduced a nomad working policy to recognise changing work styles. This new policy will offer greater employee flexibility, specifically for those interested in working from anywhere (WFA). The rise of remote working has increased the prevalence of digital nomads working remotely from another country.
Changing needs and demands in a workforce should be acknowledged by workplaces. As trends and routines change, employers should be aware of what would support employees best. The introduction of the nomad working policy is hoped to boost collaboration and excellence, as well as retain and attract top talent.

Reboot’s Nomad Working Policy
The nomad working policy, which allows employees to work from anywhere in the world for up to four weeks per year, is a response to the changing needs of the workforce and the company’s commitment to diversity, inclusion, creativity, productivity, and work-life balance.
Reboot CEO says the policy embodies the company’s core values of collaboration and excellence. By embracing digital nomadism, they hope to enrich employee experiences and attract and retain top talent.
The policy is a welcome change for many employees, who are excited about the opportunity to work from different locations around the world. Some employees plan to use the policy to visit family and friends, while others plan to explore new cultures and experiences. All employees agree that the policy will give them more flexibility and control over their work lives.
Reboot’s nomad working policy is a sign that companies are increasingly recognising the benefits of remote work. As the world becomes more interconnected, employees are demanding more flexibility from their employers. Companies that are willing to offer remote work options are better positioned to attract and retain top talent.
Working From Anywhere (WFA)
WFA is a flexible work arrangement that allows employees to work from any location, including their home, a coffee shop, a coworking space, or even a different country. WFA is becoming increasingly popular as technology advances and more and more jobs can be done remotely.
WFA can be implemented in a variety of ways, depending on the needs of the company and its employees. Some companies have a fully remote workforce, while others offer a hybrid model where employees can choose to work remotely some or all of the time.
To work from anywhere, employees typically need a computer, a reliable internet connection, and access to the company’s communication and collaboration tools. Some companies also provide employees with additional equipment, such as a second monitor or a noise-cancelling headset.
WFA offers a number of benefits for both employees and employers. For employees, WFA can lead to increased flexibility, productivity, and work-life balance. Employees can work from a location that is convenient for them, and they can avoid the daily commute. This can save employees time and money, and it can also reduce stress levels.
For employers, WFA can lead to reduced costs, a wider talent pool, and increased employee engagement. Employers can save money on office space and other overhead costs. They can also hire employees from anywhere in the world, which gives them access to a wider pool of talent. Additionally, employees who are able to work from anywhere are often more engaged and productive.
Digital Nomad Visa
A digital nomad visa is a type of temporary residency permit that allows a person to live and work remotely in a foreign country. The visa typically has a duration of 12 months and can be extended for one or more years, depending on the country. To qualify for a digital nomad visa, applicants must typically demonstrate that they have a steady income from a foreign-based employer or business.
Spain has introduced digital nomad visas to attract remote workers from around the world. The visa allows holders to live and work in Spain for up to one year, with the possibility of extensions.
The Spanish digital nomad visa is for foreigners who want to live in Spain as residents and work remotely for a company or employer (or be self-employed) outside of Spain. The visa requires that you use only computer telematics and telecommunication media and systems to work.

If you are self-employed, you can also work for a company in Spain, as long as the percentage of this work does not exceed 20% of your total professional activity.
To qualify for the visa, you must have an undergraduate or postgraduate degree from a prestigious university, college, or business school, or have at least three years of work experience in your current field of activity.
The following family members may also obtain the visa:
- Your spouse or unmarried partner
- Your dependent children
- Your dependent relatives in the ascending line who form part of your family unit
Although many other countries offer digital nomad visas, the UK does not currently offer any type of digital nomad visa.
