Many companies adopt remote work with some moving to a hybrid office-remote-mix and others becoming “virtual first” or “fully distributed” organizations. These guides are published by billion dollar corporations that have adopted a virtual first or fully distributed approach to remote work.
Dropbox Virtual First Toolkit
https://blog.dropbox.com/collections/virtual-first-toolkit
As Dropbox is the most recent of the companies in this list to go all-in on remote work and declare themselves “virtual first” their guide can be expected to evolve with company learnings. Initial experience of asynchronous work at the company has been positive
Officially day 3 of Dropbox’s shift to virtual first (as opposed to just figuring out how to get by in a pandemic) and the shift to “core collaboration hours” aka a set 4 hour window each day during which synchronous things like meetings can be scheduled has been glorious.

Gitlab team Handbook
https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/
Gitlab was one of the pioneers of fully remote companies (perhaps even the first all-remote billion-dollar company?). Their public company handbook has helped many other companies on the same journey learn about remote processes. Gitlab challenges some tenets from agile methodology, such as rejecting cross-functional team organization.

Zapier is another company that was 100% distributed early on and has generously shared its learnings, adding materials for companies that have had a recent need to adopt remote.
