As the popularity of remote working continues to spread, workers today can collaborate across cities, countries and even multiple time zones. How does this change office dynamics? And how can we make sure that all employees, both at headquarters and at home, feel connected?

Giving employees control over where and how they work leads to stronger companies and happier teams. With staff spread across 67 countries, one tech company lets people choose their location, environment, and schedule, as long as the work gets done. By documenting decisions and embracing digital tools, teams can collaborate seamlessly across time zones. Distributed organizations tap into a worldwide ocean of talent, not just a local pond.
