It's Ted Talks, Ailey.

I'm your host, Elise Hugh.

We are now in a remote and hybrid work reality.

It has opened up so much more freedom and flexibility for workers around the world.

HR leader Sarah Averam became one and has now worked across the globe.

In her 2022 talk from Ted X, Aleeve Studio, she shares the key to getting working from

anywhere right, for fulfilling careers, no matter where we're located, after a sponsor

message.

In 2019, I was working from my laptop from a beautiful beach in Bali, drinking water

right out of a fresh coconut, and enjoying the warm ocean breeze, and I'm thinking, eh,

something was still missing, and I couldn't put my finger on it.

How could I be in this scenario and not feel fulfilled?

I worked from 12 countries in 12 months that year.

An opportunity that was once rare is now more possible for more people than ever before.

Spotify recently introduced their new work from anywhere policy in which they're giving

employees a choice of working wherever they do their most focused and creative thinking.

Dropbox's new way of working is called virtual first, in which remote work will be the

primary experience for employees, saving in-person meetings for special occasions.

And that's great news because over 50% of people that work remotely say that if their

current company doesn't give them some type of remote work option long term, they'll

look for a job at a company that does.
