Why a distributed team gives you a competitive advantage

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.

The team at Buffer just released their 2019 State of Remote Work report and it makes for a fascinating read!

The difference the ability to work this way makes to peoples lives is truly astounding. Which is why this is becoming a competitive advantage for those businesses that have adopted this flexible agile way of working.

Why competitive advantage you may ask? Well there are lots of reasons but some of the main ones being how much happier and productive teams are that can work from anywhere and the ability this gives to attract top talent and retain that talent.

All smart progressive companies will work this way in future.
