As many firms head back to the office, there are a few staunchly keeping their teams virtual. Are they the last of a dying breed, or trendsetters?

In doing so, Vista has been able to access deeper talent pools, improve results and boost employee engagement, says Flannigan. She cites a June 2023 internal survey of its workforce, in which 87% of staff said the company's remote-first policy improved their 'work-life harmony' .

Without fixed in-person office days, Vista has also reconfigured its onboarding. Its former offices around the world have been turned into collaboration centres with hot desks, enabling teams to choose to occasionally work in person and brainstorm."We've designed a 100-day programme specifically to train new starters in adapting to remote-first working," says Flannigan.

, professor of business psychology at University College London, says large organisations that traditionally depend on in-person working are likely just as capable as Vista at creating a remote-first workplace. Yet they still often prefer in-office patterns, he adds, not because they’re necessarily limited by virtual working, but because they're actually constrained by a predisposition towards physical workspaces.

"The tools, advantages and motives for a company to be fully remote are the same for a large conglomerate as they are for a small tech startup," says Chamorro-Premuzic."But the main difference is that older businesses [stick] to their own traditions and habits." In short, companies taking Vista's path are rare – but it's still possible to go remote. It may just mean re-evaluating the entrenched office norm.Although new companies may set up in-office mandates from the start, many are launching businesses as fully remote outright.
