Future is remote!<p>With the advent of technology, you can work from anywhere in the world. You don't need an office to open your laptop. Instead, you can stay at home, walk to a co-working space or even take a plane to Bali.<p>Not only about location<p>But remote work is not only about being location independant – it's a way of life. It's about blurring the boundaries between work and rest of the life and integrating them for a calmer and more meaningful life experience.<p>Life is more than work<p>Working from home, you can be more involved in your family life and see your kids grow. Without an office, you can travel to explore the awesome planet you're living on. Combined with flexible working hours, you'll work when you're the most creative.<p>A celebration of remote companies building the future of work<p>There are a lot companies working with a distributed team across the globe. And there are increasingly more companies who are hiring their first remote team members.<p>Remote Work Awards 2019 is a showcase of remote teams leading the remote work revolution. These companies are sharing what they have learned when building fully distributed teams – while there are a lot of benefits remote work brings, there are also many challenges to overcome.<p>This is my small contribution to the remote work revolution that's happening right now. I hope this inspires people to start exploring remote work opportunities and companies to consider their first remote team members.
Distributed teams — the future that's already come for the IT-industry. It's awesome to see so many companies like GitLab, Doist, Buffer, Xapo and many more, have been employing the use of distributed teams for a while now.<p>Also, it great to see Time Doctor in the award list.
