The term “distributed team” is often used by employers when they are talking about groups of people who work across geographic boundaries and time zones. Distributed teams are similar to remote teams in that they work outside traditional offices. Unlike remote teams, however, all members of a distributed team work from home.
FlexJobs is an excellent example of a distributed team. Although we are dispersed throughout the country, we have programs and technology in place to help us feel connected to each other and our jobs.
Distributed teams telecommute 100 percent of the time and hire for a variety of job titles such as visual designer, web developer, writer, and strategist.
