Abstract:

From flexible work policies to virtual doctors, a growing number of companies are finding ways to incorporate remote work into their business. But what happens when you mix localised office culture with internationally remote teams? How do you build a company where everyone feels valued and connected? Why should you even consider having offices anymore anyway? Lara Owen, Head of Global Workplace at GitHub, talks about the challenges and successes she's experienced in building a distributed workforce — and why it’s all worth it.
