distributed team
Geographically scattered employees
A distributed team is a group working together while physically located in different places—different offices, cities, or countries.
The term emerged with remote work technology and implies coordination across distance and often time zones: Our distributed team spans three continents.
Unlike "remote team," which suggests workers outside a central office, distributed emphasizes that no single location is primary.
