With a flexible workforce, home is where the cloud is.
There are real benefits to adopting a remote and flexible workforce policy. Colorado business owners can ensure that every project is staffed by employees with the right skills, no matter where they are.
There’s been an acceleration when it comes to remote work. The shift towards a more flexible workforce has been lightning fast, and many companies and communities need to evolve and build on the momentum of the moment for long-term economic health and competitiveness.
Positioning Colorado as the location of choice for employers to source and host remote talent.
Colorado has ranked #1 for remote work and is one of the leading states in the nation to embrace the innovative future of remote work. By educating companies and communities about the best strategies and equipping them to embrace “Cloud Commuting” remote flexibility, time is saved, productivity is increased, and a better balance of work and life can be achieved.
