Telecommuting

Explanation:

This is an example of telecommuting. Telecommuting refers to a type of work arrangement in which employees do not commute to a specific place (office, warehouse, store, etc.) to work. Instead, they work at home or any place they prefer. Employers who work in this way rely on telecommunication devices in order to stay in contact with the main place of work. Sometimes, like in the case of Lizzy, employers have to go to an office or other central location on a regular (though not daily) schedule. In recent years, as telecommunication devices have improved, this arrangement has become increasingly common.
