Can administrative assistants work from home?

Yes, administrative assistants can work from home. In fact, it is becoming increasingly common for administrative assistants to work from home, whether on a fully remote or hybrid basis. The work completed by administrative assistants is easy to conduct in a work from home environment as it typically takes place on computers and over the phone.

There may be instances when administrative assistants need to speak directly to customers. Phone calls and video conferencing can often be utilized in these cases, but some may prefer to speak to customers face-to-face. Because of this, many businesses still prefer to have administrative assistants work in-office, even if they could complete all of their work remotely.
