A Harvard Business School professor and leading expert in virtual and global work provides remote workers and leaders with the best practices necessary to perform at the highest levels in their organizations.

This massive transition has forced companies to rapidly advance their digital footprint, using cloud, storage, cybersecurity, and device tools to accommodate their new remote workforce.Experiencing the benefits of remote working - including nonexistent commute times, lower operational costs, and a larger pool of global job applicants - many companies, including Twitter and Google, plan to permanently incorporate remote days or give employees the option to work from home full-time.
