Headquartered across 11 countries, the companies on FlexJobs’ list of the Top 100 Companies to Watch for Remote Jobs in 2021 had the highest number of remote job openings in 2020.For years, translation and localization company Lionbridge has maintained a remote workforce, with employees operating from 5,000 cities around the globe.
“There is a maturity in a business that can trust employees that are not physically present,” says Ann Lazarus-Barnes, chief people officer at Lionbridge. “There’s a very talented group of people that do best in a remote environment. We welcome this whole talent pool that other organizations may not be able to.”
“It’s interesting because the list, over the years, has reflected the leaders in remote work, the companies who do it really well and do it often,” she says. “If anything, the pandemic has strengthened those companies’ commitment to remote work. It’s really shown them to be the leaders in this area.”
