*The team at Work EvOHlution, whose job it is to help leaders, teams, and employees adapt to mobile work environments.*

Driven by the challenges of doing business in the global, technology-driven economy, and by an increasing demand for flexibility, the distributed workforce is growing. Whether you call it mobile or remote work, agile or flexwork, WORKshift, or telework/telecommuting, the reality is that many workers are no longer tied to the traditional office. The benefits of flexible working arrangements range from improved employee engagement and productivity, to reduced commuting and less pressure on infrastructure. Of course, new challenges also come alongside these benefits.
