Why is Virtual Intelligence So Essential?
Collaboration and communication are essential for employees to succeed. However, translating these skills to remote and hybrid work is often overlooked. Beyond IQ, EQ, and technical skills, today’s modern workplace now requires teams to possess “remote-readiness” or “virtual intelligence” to excel in a distributed work environment.
Consider these real-world challenges:
Projecting Professionalism
Common Challenge: A prestigious law firm had to let go of two talented associates who excelled in their legal work but struggled to convey professionalism during remote meetings with new clients.
Having Global Work Etiquette
Common Challenge: An employee’s repeated failure to account for time zones when scheduling calls and deadlines disrupted productivity and team cohesion.
Navigating the Workplace
Common Challenge: A remote team member needs support but isn’t sure how to ask for it from their peers or manager, leaving them feeling overwhelmed and unproductive.

“Despite companies increasingly implementing return-to-office policies, nearly 68% of tech industry employees globally were fully or mostly remote in 2023. As the working world navigates a hybrid model, assessing 'remote-readiness' is essential.”
“The launch of ETS Anywherepro is another way that we are demonstrating our commitment to working alongside employers to equip them with the tools and solutions they need to measure the capabilities of talent across the globe to enhance their workforce and build robust, effective teams no matter where they are located.”
“Remote work is here to stay. This makes it increasingly important for job candidates to be able to show their aptitude and understanding of what it takes to be successful remote workers. The Anywherepro certification is an excellent solution to help teams highlight their skills through a trusted, globally-recognized platform.”
“In today’s flexible work reality, Anywherepro is an incredibly valuable assessment for employers that want to hire talent with the skills to work effectively across locations and time zones.”
