From traditional, office-bound models to more flexible arrangements, the concept of where and how we work has fundamentally changed. While Return to Office mandates are happening, smart organizations are realizing that the best talent can be sourced from anywhere. Not just within 50 miles of the office.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/hbr.org\/2021\/09\/the-future-of-flexibility-at-work\">Employees now expect flexibility in how they work<\/a>, while employers are embracing the benefits of distributed teams.
