What is distributed work?

Distributed work
Distributed work refers to a way of working in which companies have one or more employees who work in different physical locations. This work model may comprise:
- on-site teams at one or more office locations
- remote employees who work from home, coworking spaces, or are traveling
- digital nomads
What鈥檚 the difference between 鈥渄istributed鈥 and 鈥渞emote鈥 work?
鈥嬧婽he term 鈥渄istributed鈥 is commonly confused with the term 鈥渞emote鈥. Although a companies employees and contractors can work together in both a distributed and remote manner at the same time, 鈥渄istributed鈥 tends to convey the way organizations are structured.
Remote work is purely procedural (working somewhere outside the office), whereas distributed work requires a new way of thinking about how companies are collaborating and working together.
