In today’s globalized world, managing remote workforces has become increasingly prevalent, presenting both opportunities and challenges for organizations. This research explores the best practices and challenges in managing remote teams, particularly in organizations operating across different time zones and cultures. The objective of this study is to identify strategies for effective communication, productivity, and employee engagement within remote teams. The research employs a qualitative approach, analyzing existing literature, case studies, and interviews with managers who oversee global remote teams. The findings indicate that establishing clear communication channels, promoting a strong organizational culture, and leveraging technology are essential for success. However, challenges such as time zone differences, cultural barriers, and maintaining team cohesion persist. The study suggests that organizations should invest in training, technology infrastructure, and team-building activities to foster collaboration. The implications of this research provide valuable insights for businesses aiming to optimize their remote workforce management strategies in the evolving global business landscape.
