Many people and organizations have recently been suddenly thrown into a world of remote work, and are struggling to work out how to do.

A few companies have long relied heavily on remote work, or even been completely virtual organizations since they were founded.

A number of those companies, in line with their philosophies and principles, have openly shared their internal resources to help do remote work well.

Here is a selection of five of the best.
