This paper explores the effects of remote working on talent development in a context where companies are promoting "virtual proximity" through the use of information and communication technologies. Drawing on 12 years of intervention- research, the authors identify challenges and present best practices in talent development, highlighting six specific needs and the importance of a balance between physical and virtual proximity. In conclusion, the longitudinal analysis of the three case studies demonstrates that this hybrid proximity optimizes talent development and organizational performance, underlining the usefulness of intervention research in the study of remote working and talent development.
