The impact of the pandemic means that in 18 months, we've moved from discussing theories around the future of work to debating the practicalities. Fully remote, fully back in the office, hybrid working, the discussion and the publicity around the decisions companies make will dominate the HR news cycle for months if not years to come.\n\nOne of the key advantages of remote working is the ability to broaden talent pools across borders.
