The Office Is Dead. Here's How to Build Around Flexibility and Results | Entrepreneur
Briefly

Team building has evolved beyond local talent and traditional work hours due to the rise of cloud-based collaboration platforms. The shift to remote work has become a strategic default post-pandemic, with a significant preference for flexible work arrangements among younger generations. Many businesses face talent shortages, leading to an increased reliance on remote contractors and fractional roles. This model offers companies cost-effective access to skilled professionals while meeting the demands for autonomy and mastery within the workforce, proving more beneficial than traditional hiring methods.
The way we build teams doesn't revolve around local talent anymore, or even a standard 40-hour workweek. Cloud-based collaboration platforms have successfully shrunk time zones.
Remote work hardened from a stopgap to a strategic default, with nearly half of Gen Z workers rating 'the ability to live and work anywhere' as a top job benefit.
Part-time executives and specialists give businesses enterprise-grade expertise without the overhead of a full-time salary, which has shifted the business case for fractional work.
Fractional engagements allow flexibility in hiring, enabling companies to retain global talent without the limitations of traditional payroll costs.
