The world has embraced the idea of remote work and virtual global teams, especially since the pandemic, but that would not be possible without technology and specialized tools. The role of technology in remote work and organizational operations cannot be understated, as the emergence of remote work tools, programs, and approaches has allowed remote work to boom and made workplaces accessible like never before.
The beating heart of remote work, however, is communication. Technology that allows for open communication and collaboration between teams goes far beyond video conferencing, the idea of which dates back — incredibly — to the 1870s. The rise of the acceptance of remote work has led to more technological innovations and better tools with which to complete our jobs and communicate with team members in the best, most effective ways possible.
