Digital Nomad Report: Exploring Impacts of Remote and Hybrid Work on Long-Term Business Strategy

Fragomen, in collaboration with the Business Advisory Group to the Global Forum on Migration and Development, recently published the report, "Digital Nomads and Hybrid Work: A Deep Dive into the Benefits, Drawbacks and Possible Ways to Improve Uptake of Digital Nomad Visa Programs."

The report explores the labor market's sentiments surrounding remote work, hybrid work and digital nomad routes and how these flexible working arrangements benefit long-term business strategy.

It addresses the benefits, challenges and opportunities of these arrangements, including increased access to talent, boosts to local economies, potentials for innovation and valuable addendums to employers’ environmental, social and governance frameworks. The paper also considers how governments can support Digital Nomad Visa programs.

This report was presented at the 14th Global Forum on Migration and Development Summit, held in Geneva in January 2024. View the summary here and the full report here.
