Standards, research and training for teams that don’t share a building
The Remote-First Institute helps organisations build distributed work that holds up: clear processes, capable managers and fair conditions, wherever people are.
The next 24 hours in eight cities, starting now at the white line. Yellow marks 09:00 to 17:00 local time. Few hours overlap for everyone, which is why remote-first work runs on process, not on being online together.
What the Institute does
Global standards
Practical standards for remote-first processes, starting with asynchronous communication, collaboration and leadership.
Research
Specialised, localised reports and analyses that show how distributed work plays out in particular countries and sectors.
Training
Open learning for the managers and teams who make remote-first work happen every day.
Community
A global network of future-of-work practitioners who share what works and what doesn’t.
For companies
Bring us a real problem: slow decisions across time zones, managers who still lead by presence, or a hybrid policy nobody follows. We’ll work on it with your team.
For funders and partners
We’re looking for grant-funded projects on access to work, inclusion and skills, with partners who want results published and put to use.
