The World Is Your Office: How Work from Anywhere Boosts Talent, Productivity, and Innovation

A research-based look at a growing phenomenon—companies allowing their employees to work from anywhere in the world—and how those who adopt this model can boost talent, innovation, and productivity.
In recent years, companies in a wide range of industries have adopted radically flexible work policies that allow employees and teams to work from anywhere (WFA), untethered to a physical office. The leaders at these companies understand that geographic flexibility is a competitive advantage: a way to attract and retain high-quality and diverse talent at a global scale. If other companies want to find and keep the very best talent, they must embrace WFA.
In The World Is Your Office, I take readers inside the companies at the forefront of this growing phenomenon—from startups to bigger, more traditional organizations—while offering leaders a playbook for implementing a variety of WFA policies they can tailor to their own needs. This includes:
*Using WFA as a means of hiring and retaining the best talent in your field
*Best practices for meeting the challenges of managing a WFA team or workforce, including ways to build community, improve communication, and share knowledge
*Understanding how AI and automation are extending WFA to manufacturing and other deskless settings
*Case studies of companies that have implemented WFA to great effect
Filled with smart insights and in-depth examples, and inspired by a decade's worth of pioneering research, The World Is Your Office will help leaders attract superior talent, boost innovation, and improve productivity and diversity.
