An international workforce can mean several things based on the organization, but typically it refers to the number of international workers connected through a global system of network and production. These are either people who are willing to engage and work internationally (move or travel) or as it is becoming more common in recent years, work from their home countries for an organization that is thousand of miles away (permanently virtual).
