Remote Friendly
Primarily work out of HQ but build light-weight touchpoints to integrate remote team members
Remote First
Build a team around a workflow that embraces the concepts of remote work regardless of where the employees are located
Remote Only
Completely spread out employees with no HQ. Remote becomes the mindset
Facts evolve over time, problems change over time, we have to remember to reset often.
