Five types 
of remote workers you’ll run 
across in the virtual office
Interacting with a variety of office personalities 
is what makes coming into work every day an 
adventure! But what if you work remotely from 
your home office? As anyone who has ever been a 
teleworker or collaborated with teleworkers before 
knows, you don’t have to look very far to find a 
range of colorful virtual coworker profiles as well.
1. “Always On”: We’ve all heard that 
remote working at least part of the time can 
boost productivity among certain employees, but 
the “Always On” remote worker takes that to the 
next level. She is quick to respond to emails at 
any time of the day and night and weekend, and 
her presence status is nearly always online.
2. “Invisible (Wo)Man”: 
The polar opposite of the “Always On” profile, 
the “Invisible” remote worker is never to be 
found. Getting a timely email reply is nearly 
as impossible as the chance of catching her 
on chat as her status is set most of the time 
to Away. Despite having a range of virtual 
collaboration and communication tools within 
reach, the “Invisible” remote worker is anything 
but connected. Offline
3. “Road Warrior”: We’ve all been 
on the odd conference call with the guy or gal 
sprinting through an airport terminal or parked 
on the side of a noisy freeway. The “Road 
Warrior” is rarely ever in one place for long but 
constantly on the move visiting prospects and 
clients, inspecting sites or attending seminars 
in different cities, connecting from whichever 
device is handiest in the moment – laptop, 
smartphone, tablet or all of the above.

4. “Conversationalist” : Despite 
being out of the office, the “Conversationalist” 
makes the most of virtual communication 
applications to connect orally with everyone! 
The equivalent of an open space buddy stopping 
by your desk to chitchat, the “Conversationalist” 
prefers verbal collaboration over written. When 
your VoIP interface, mobile or landline rings, 
chances are that your “Conversationalist” 
remote co-worker is on the line.
5. “Hybrid”: Seen both in-person and 
online, the “Hybrid” remote employee boasts 
a mastery of work-life balance, collaborating 
in the office when physical meetings are 
required and virtually when other priorities take 
precedence. For the “Hybrid” remote worker, 
having access to the same communication 
tools, applications and solutions is essential 
to maintaining seamless productivity from any 
location.
