The war on talent seems to know no bounds. As organizations try to fill critical roles with people who have the right skills, they are constantly seeking strategies for attracting and retaining talent. One way organizations are filling the talent gap is by allowing team members to live and work remotely from the geographic areas they prefer. More and more teams are now either completely or partially geographically dispersed.

An attitude is a psychological state of mind. Depending on the situation & time, the attitude of a person gets changed. It can be easily identified in one’s behavior: the way they talk, behave and respond. In most organizations, employee attitude can reflect his or her feelings of loyalty towards the organization. In the corporate world, sometimes it is very difficult to handle the attitude of employees in the correct way.
