A new report released today by Remote, an HR technology startup making global employment accessible for companies of all sizes, spotlights 75 influential figures for their impact on and contributions to remote work. The 2021 Remote Influencer Report outlines three types of influencers—Innovators, Enablers, and Accelerators—and their impressive accomplishments around the remote workplace revolution. The list aims to help companies, business leaders, workers, and recruiters gain useful insights and best practices on remote work.
“Our main goal at Remote is to make global hiring easier for companies, and this report is an additional resource to make research around all things remote work easier for business leaders and employees,” says Job van der Voort, co-founder and CEO of Remote. “While the Innovators and Enablers play an important role in creating the accessibility and foundation for remote work to be successful, this global shift wouldn’t be happening without the Accelerators – they’re the ones implementing the insights and tools and changing the game for the future of work.”
