Dropbox redefines employee experience in a virtual world

Editor’s note

Dear readers,

According to Laura Ryan, director of international HR at Dropbox, creating an equitable employee experience regardless of role and location was of “utmost importance.”

To that extent, virtual first working offers something different from the “hybrid-remote” models many companies are announcing, which is one where employees choose whether or not to work out of the office.
