Workplace of the future
summary
Panelists argue that companies must build remote-first workplaces not remote-tolerant ones, with video in every room, rigorous online screening for soft and hard skills, and a shift to manage by results instead of FaceTime. Recommended practices include meetups (examples: Bali, Lisbon), tools like Slack and JIRA, and scheduling about four hours of overlap for collaborating time zones. Examples cited: Adecco puts 1.3 million people to work daily; one firm runs ~1,000 people (300 employees, 700 freelancers across 100 countries).
