Recent history has shown us that we can be effective, creative and productive working from anywhere—even amid a pandemic.

We’ve adopted alternative working hours, relocated, welcomed unexpected Zoom cameos, and gotten to know our colleagues on a more human level. We know this new way of working works, and employees will expect this flexibility going forward. Research from the Future Forum shows that 93% of knowledge workers want a flexible schedule and 76% want flexibility in location.

Organizations of all sizes, across all industries, are embracing this moment to reinvent the way we work. Some will remain fully remote, some will anchor to an office, and many will employ a hybrid model. But the common denominator among those leading the charge is a demand for a digital HQ that’s flexible and inclusive for a work-from-anywhere world.

Moving to a digital HQ doesn’t mean ditching the office. It’s about empowering people to work when and where it’s best for them. Offices are just one of our tools for building relationships and creating space for focused work. With a digital HQ, you can transcend physical spaces and time zones to bring teams, tools, partners and customers together around shared goals and priorities.

“Embrace digital communication tools like shared documents and chat, and empower your employees to be flexible with their schedules while moving the work forward.”
Meghan ReibsteinVP of Organizational Operations, Zillow
