The announcement came amidst having its entire workforce working from home since the COVID-19 lockdowns went into effect in March.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zuckerberg isn\u2019t the only one with this idea, either. Jack Dorsey, CEO of Twitter and Square, also announced that his companies are taking steps to promote a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.twitter.com\/en_us\/topics\/company\/2020\/keeping-our-employees-and-partners-safe-during-coronavirus.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">work-from-anywhere future<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Big players like Google, Microsoft, and Amazon have also extended remote work until at least the end of 2020.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>What\u2019s with all the commotion about work from anywhere?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The massive, mandated <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/us\/en\/blog\/wfh\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">work-from-home<\/a> experiment due to COVID-19 has sparked a new type of flexible work model among progressive organizations and thought leaders: <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">work from anywhere<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. To put it simply, work from anywhere is a step above work from home, which implies that employees are still local and present.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Work from anywhere made headlines after the social media giants made their announcements, but the work-from-anywhere idea isn\u2019t unique by any means. In fact, organizations such as Articulate and Zapier established the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/@getadam\/why-i-chose-to-build-a-fully-remote-company-before-it-was-cool-6aa750cde1a2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">100% remote<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> trend in the early-2000s by using technology and the internet in place of traditional office spaces. Even organizations such as American Express were early adopters of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/jeannemeister\/2013\/04\/01\/flexible-workspaces-another-workplace-perk-or-a-must-have-to-attract-top-talent\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">work from anywhere for segments of their workforce<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The social media giants, however, did take work from anywhere from a far-fetched fantasy to mainstream discourse. Organizations are now contemplating extending work from home, if not adopting fully remote, work from anywhere arrangements.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Should organizations allow employees to work from anywhere?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As COVID-19 restrictions loosen around the country, returning to our offices won\u2019t be as quick and easy as it seems. Modern offices were designed to optimize space and pack employees into confined settings\u2014a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2020\/04\/24\/840397136\/the-office-as-we-knew-it-isnt-coming-back-anytime-soon-maybe-it-s-changed-foreve\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">quality<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that doesn\u2019t take highly-contagious illnesses into account. Employee safety is the number one priority for organizations in the recovery phase, and that means possibly reimagining traditional offices.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Understandably, work from anywhere might be on the table, even as a temporary measure. With a virus floating around, employees won\u2019t feel <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/@BastionSafe\/top-10-reasons-why-workplace-safety-is-important-8797c978e1f9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">safe enough to work productively<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in their cramped office spaces. Forcing employees to return to their offices could potentially backfire from both safety and HR standpoints. After all, employees won\u2019t be happy going back if it means risking their health, and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneur.com\/article\/246036\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">unhappy employees are less engaged, productive, and loyal<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>How effective is work from anywhere?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the same time, the work-from-home event has proved how effective remote work really is. Despite many organizations scrambling to piece together remote work technologies at the onset of the pandemic, organizations able to effectively work from home have mostly been <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theatlantic.com\/health\/archive\/2020\/05\/work-from-home-pandemic\/611098\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">weathering the storm<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014with some <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/nymag.com\/intelligencer\/2020\/04\/the-companies-that-stand-to-profit-from-the-coronavirus.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">even thriving<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Business operations continued as remote employees showed equal amounts of productivity at home as they did in the office, if not more.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Research supports the work-from-home productivity boost too. A <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gsb.stanford.edu\/faculty-research\/working-papers\/does-working-home-work-evidence-chinese-experiment\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stanford University experiment<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with China\u2019s largest online travel agency CTrip found that fully remote employees were <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">13% more productive<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and showed higher employee satisfaction and lower turnover. Another <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessnewsdaily.com\/15259-working-from-home-more-productive.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">study<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> found that, on average, remote employees work 1.4 more days per month than their office-based counterparts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many leaders have caught on to the work-from-anywhere trend and plan to support it. A<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> recent <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gartner <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gartner.com\/en\/newsroom\/press-releases\/2020-04-03-gartner-cfo-surey-reveals-74-percent-of-organizations-to-shift-some-employees-to-remote-work-permanently2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">survey<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> on 317 CFOs revealed that 74% of companies plan to permanently shift to more remote work post-COVID-19. Nearly a quarter of those plan to move 20% of their on-site employees to permanent remote positions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The luxury of work from anywhere, however, isn\u2019t a perk every team can afford to offer. Workers such as content moderators, data center operators, hardware engineers, and even sales representatives have to work with company products and can only operate on-site. Every organization has unique business needs that only its leaders can assess. One thing is for certain: in the post-COVID-19 workplace\u2014at least for the remainder of 2020\u2014every organization will have to make a tough decision on whether employees return to the office.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>How can organizations adopt work from anywhere?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For many organizations that have the capability to work from anywhere, the challenge is figuring out how to empower fully remote employees and ensure success regardless of location. Headquarters can be in Los Angeles, New York, or Chicago, while entire teams are scattered across multiple states and time zones. At the same time, remote employees might choose to work different schedules from their teammates and have multiple variables that can hinder collaboration.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Naturally, technology will be pivotal to work-from-anywhere practices. COVID-19 transformed remote work from an employee perk to a business necessity overnight. Employees and managers have undergone a crash course in communications and collaboration apps during the pandemic, not to mention workdays packed with emails, video meetings, and team messaging. Considering that many organizations won\u2019t return to work for several more months, these tools and practices will stick.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/us\/en\/blog\/productivity-tools\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Productivity tools<\/a> like team messaging, video conferencing, and cloud-based phone calling allow employees to communicate and collaborate from any location and any device. What\u2019s more, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/desktop-app.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">unified communications<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> solutions combine these essential tools into a single platform where all messaging, file sharing, video meetings, and phone calls happen. Remote employees only need to manage a single app and can effortlessly switch between different modes of communication with a single click.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Management practices will likely need to be revisited as well. Managing fully remote and distributed teams presents a unique set of challenges, such as aligning work schedules, productivity concerns, employee silos, and feelings of exclusion and isolation (see: \u201c<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/us\/en\/blog\/7-easy-ways-to-help-remote-employees-feel-included-in-your-organization\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">7 Easy Ways to Help Remote Employees Feel Included in Your Organization<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d). For example, managers can\u2019t monitor the productivity of remote teams. As a result, managers will have to evaluate work-from-anywhere employees based on performance rather than attendance.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Driving business success from anywhere in the world<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flexjobs.com\/blog\/post\/remote-work-statistics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">over 90% of workers<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> wanted more flexible work arrangements pre-COVID-19, the pandemic inadvertently made it a reality\u2014for the better, in many ways. Employees have experienced better work-life balance and higher productivity, while employers have seen its positive impacts on business continuity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many of those employees won\u2019t return to the office. Instead, organizations will likely embrace work from anywhere and give employees more control over their professional and personal lives. Whether it\u2019s working from home, in the office, on a family trip to the Bahamas, or even in a hospital as a family member recovers from an illness, work from anywhere is the future of work, and organizations are listening.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As work from anywhere continues to grow in popularity, organizations should prepare for future remote workforces today. Tools like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/desktop-app.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">unified communications<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> ensure that every employee in the organization\u2014whether on-site, working from home, or working from anywhere\u2014has the technology to work from any location and on any device they prefer. Unified communications allow fully remote teams to collaborate as they would in the office, without limiting employees to geographic restrictions. Once work from anywhere becomes ubiquitous, organizations with the right technology will be ready to succeed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Learn more about the future of remote work in our post, \u201c<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/us\/en\/blog\/6-questions-to-ask-before-extending-work-from-home\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6 Questions to Ask Before Extending Work From Home<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just last week, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced that many of the company\u2019s 48,000 employees will soon be able to live and work from virtually anywhere\u2014granted that they\u2019re okay with a pay adjustment.
