A research-based deep dive into a growing phenomenon - companies allowing employees to work from anywhere - and how those who adopt this model can boost talent, innovation, and productivity.

As the debate around remote versus in-office work rages on, leaders in a wide range of industries continue to implement radically flexible work practices, allowing most, if not all, of their employees to work from anywhere. Why? They understand that geographic flexibility offers a competitive advantage: the ability to attract and retain top talent globally.

In The World Is Your Office, Harvard Business School professor Prithwiraj Choudhury, who has been studying this phenomenon for over a decade, takes readers inside the trailblazing companies that are going all-in on work-from-anywhere (WFA) policies. From startups and nonprofits to government agencies and large corporations, Choudhury's research shows why and how these organizations - and their employees - are benefiting.

Drawing insights from this pioneering research, Choudhury also provides an extensive playbook for implementing successful WFA policies, offering leaders concrete strategies to:

  • Use WFA as a means of hiring and retaining the best talent
  • Effectively manage WFA teams, share knowledge, and combat isolation
  • Leverage AI and automation to extend WFA into manufacturing and other deskless roles
  • Design programs that attract talent to different regions

Filled with actionable insights and extensive case studies, The World Is Your Office empowers leaders to embrace the future of work.
