A distributed workforce refers to a group of employees who are geographically dispersed and work remotely, often from different locations, rather than being physically present in a central office or workplace. This type of workforce is becoming increasingly common due to advancements in technology and the rise of remote work opportunities. The distributed workforce may include employees who work from home, satellite offices, co-working spaces, or other remote locations. This allows companies to tap into a wider pool of talent and provide flexibility for employees, while also reducing overhead costs associated with maintaining a physical office space. However, managing a distributed workforce can present unique challenges, such as communication and collaboration, and requires effective use of technology and remote work policies to ensure productivity and cohesion within the team.
