High-performing distributed teams have a common superpower: They do the majority of their work asynchronously. Here's how they do it - and why you should follow suit.

In this guest post, the team from Robin explores the crucial role of workplace analytics in successful hybrid work and discuss how the right data can help organizations do things like: Understand office activity and patterns; Right-size office spaces; Forecast resource needs; Refine their workplace strategies; and Remain adaptable.
