Distributed Teams

We hear a lot about remote workforce and distributed teams, but what does it actually mean? Distributed teams are essentially when a company has their employees distributed across countries, continents, or even worldwide.

It’s like having your team sitting in their pajamas… all across the globe.

The number of distributed teams has soared post-COVID-19, and it doesn’t seem set to stop. However, distributed teams do bring their own challenges. Among them are:

• The loss of idea sharing that can occur in physical office spaces. We talk a lot about this in our blog. Check it out.
• Team morale and building a team dynamic when many of the team members don’t know each other in person or even work on the same time zone.
• IT logistics and getting fully functioning IT equipment to employees on their day one, even if they’re onboarding in Alaska.

However, with strong collaboration tools, remote onboarding, and remote IT support, companies can keep distributed teams connected and productive, whether they’re digital nomads or homebodies. Platforms like Dots support companies with distributed teams by allowing them to purchase and deliver IT equipment in 150+ countries and then receive it back, store it in a warehouse, or just get it repaired or replaced if it’s time for an upgrade.
