It鈥檚 no secret that the past couple of years have caused many of us to change the way we think about work. Companies around the globe have been shutting their headquarters鈥 doors for good and making the shift to remote environments, but the impact has been much greater than simply eliminating the traditional approach to an office. A lot of companies have leaned into the flexibility that comes from having no HQ and have embraced things like flexible work hours, four-day work weeks, and most notably, cross-border hiring and global employment.
We sat down with leaders from Lingo Live, HiBob, and Officevibe to hear their take on the opportunities and challenges that come along with this new world of distributed work. Here鈥檚 a peek at some of the insights our expert friends have shared. Stay tuned for the full videos in the coming weeks!
