In order to embrace people from all works of life and backgrounds, we must embrace what technology has enabled -- as long as people have a good Internet connection, they can work from anywhere. This WITty episode will include a discussion on the benefits of allowing your team to work from anywhere (including better work-life balance, more diverse team, often lower costs), how to make a distributed or remote team flourish, how to flourish yourself working from home, the growing trend of project-based and freelance work, and the opportunities to feel connected with a community no matter where you work.
