Raj Choudhury, Professor at London School of Economics and Political Science joins Liz Elam to reveal what “work from anywhere” really means, and why it matters now.

Dr. Raj Choudhury, a Professor at London School of Economics and Political Science and widely recognized expert on the future of work, draws on over a decade of research and global case studies, including companies like Airbnb and Spotify. In this episode, he and Liz Elam explore how location-independent models are reshaping talent strategy, productivity, and real estate, and why return-to-office mandates may be accelerating attrition, particularly among women.

Raj discusses the growing relevance of digital twins in shaping the future of work design, along with strategies for managing distributed and asynchronous teams. He and Liz delve into building inclusive, global cultures through Employer of Record models, the broader societal benefits of decentralizing work opportunities, and the evolving landscape of hybrid work, examining which models are proving most effective today.
