Gain access to means to be able to use something or go somewhere that you couldn't before. It's like being given permission to enter a room or use a computer. In the dialogue, Alice means that companies can now work with talented people of different parts of the world, thanks to remote work.
According to Alice, what is helping companies to have talented workers from all the world working for them?
The companies are paying for these workers' travel expenses
Not exactly. They don't have to travel to another location because of remote work.
Seminars and conferences in the company's own country
Even though these events tend to have people from all over the world, that is not what Alice says.
Having branches in these workers' countries
Multinational companies can do that, but there are other ways to have people from other countries working for you now.
