remote workforce
Home-based staff collectively
A remote workforce consists of employees who work from locations outside a traditional office—typically from home, but also from coffee shops, coworking spaces, or anywhere with internet access.
The term gained prominence during the COVID-19 pandemic when companies shifted to distributed work arrangements: Managing a remote workforce requires different skills than overseeing an in-person team.
Organizations may have fully remote workforces or hybrid models mixing remote and on-site employees.
