Do you know what makes this group photo special? [Part 2]

Peter du ToitI'm the founder of FutureWork IQ where I spend my time assisting businesses to design digital workplaces or “offices in the cloud.” These environments enable companies to allow flexible and remote working for their teams. I also teach the digital literacy, fluency, communication and collaboration skills needed to work in these modern technology-rich workplaces.

This is team Zapier.

Why is this picture special? Everyone in this photo works remotely.

That’s right. Zapier employs just over 200 people. They have been in business for 7 years. The company has:

No offices
No lease agreement tie-ins
No commutes
Talent distributed all over the world Happy productive employees
Agility

These are companies of the future.
