Most businesses that plunged headfirst into remote work due to the pandemic have found that it’s actually quite straightforward and doesn’t reduce productivity as they had feared.
However, there are some concerns with remote work for the long term:
- Recruitment isn’t the same via video, no matter how much we want it to be. That’s not to say it can’t work, but there are downsides.
- Collaboration can be stifled when people don’t interact with one another directly or spontaneously. Zoom can’t replace the random conversations that come up in person. This can negatively impact innovation in the long term.
