The world is your office: how work from anywhere boosts talent, productivity, and innovation

A research-based deep dive into a growing phenomenon--companies allowing employees to work from anywhere--and how those who adopt this model can boost talent, innovation, and productivity. As the debate around remote versus in-office work rages on, leaders in a wide range of industries continue to implement radically flexible work practices, allowing most, if not all, of their employees to work from anywhere. Why? They understand that geographic flexibility offers a competitive advantage: the ability to attract and retain top talent globally. In The World Is Your Office, Harvard Business School professor Prithwiraj Choudhury, who has been studying this phenomenon for over a decade, takes readers inside the trailblazing companies that are going all-in on work-from-anywhere (WFA) policies. From startups and nonprofits to government agencies and large corporations, Choudhury’s research shows why and how these organizations--and their employees--are benefiting.

Abstract

A research-based deep dive into a growing phenomenon--companies allowing employees to work from anywhere--and how those who adopt this model can boost talent, innovation, and productivity. As the debate around remote versus in-office work rages on, leaders in a wide range of industries continue to implement radically flexible work practices, allowing most, if not all, of their employees to work from anywhere. Why? They understand that geographic flexibility offers a competitive advantage: the ability to attract and retain top talent globally. In The World Is Your Office, Harvard Business School professor Prithwiraj Choudhury, who has been studying this phenomenon for over a decade, takes readers inside the trailblazing companies that are going all-in on work-from-anywhere (WFA) policies. From startups and nonprofits to government agencies and large corporations, Choudhury’s research shows why and how these organizations--and their employees--are benefiting.
