Distributed work continues to reshape the global business landscape, profoundly affecting how and where teams get work done. In 2025, five years post-pandemic, hybrid and fully remote models remain dominant, but key differences in outcomes are becoming clearer.
 
This report dives into new data on distributed work, highlighting emerging challenges and opportunities.
 
Building on last year’s trends, it explores:
Shifts in remote and hybrid work models
Strategies that drive employee engagement and retention
Technology investments that boost productivity, transparency, and connection
The office's evolving role in hybrid work
Methods to measure what “success” really looks like in a distributed environment
 
Drawing on input from 236 companies of various sizes and industries, we offer data-driven insights and practical strategies to help companies thrive—whether they choose a fully remote or hybrid approach. 
 
Leaders must navigate these decisions with a clear, data-driven focus, resisting the often-conflicting pressures from media narratives and political discourse. The optimal future of work model is not dictated by external noise but by a deep understanding of your company’s unique needs and goals. 
 
What you’ll find in the data is that there is no one-size-fits-all approach. You cannot simply copy and paste the practices you see working for other companies as they may not work for you. Your future work model must be intentionally designed to align with your company’s industry, company culture, talent strategy, and business goals. 
 
My sincere hope is that this report enables as many companies as possible to become thriving distributed teams in 2025 and beyond! Grab your copy today!
