What is Distributed Work ?

Content

Distributed work is a work model where companies operate with employees located in various physical locations. This model can include:

  • On-site teams working in different office locations.
  • Remote employees working from home, coworking spaces, or while traveling.
  • Digital nomads who work from various locations globally.

Distributed vs. Remote Work

There is often confusion between "distributed" and "remote" work. While both involve employees working outside a traditional office setting, they differ in organizational structure.

  • Remote Work: Focuses on the procedural aspect of working outside a traditional office environment.
  • Distributed Work: Involves a more comprehensive approach to organizational structure, emphasizing how teams collaborate and operate across different locations.
