Advances in networking and mobile technologies have enabled remote workforces on a global scale, whether that’s employing full-time staff members who live thousands of miles away or simply allowing employees to work while at a conference or at home with a cold.
While remote work policies often hinge on company culture or manager preferences (like Marissa Mayer’s controversial ban on remote work for Yahoo! employees), most companies must at the least accommodate a mobile workforce—employees who check their work email via phone at 10pm or diehard workaholics who insist on sending out that memo, even though they’re on vacation in Thailand.
