One of the main complaints against remote work is that it’s more difficult for a decentralized workforce to come together and work as a cohesive unit. Collaboration and communication devolve, and team members work in isolation. Creativity and culture disintegrate, and productivity and performance suffer. But is this notion accurate? New research says no, but things are different. According to one study, more employees are having short, one-on-one meetings with each other compared to 2020, and these meetings are increasingly spontaneous. Employees are finding ways to connect remotely with one another, and organizations can do more to facilitate these connections. Encourage more synchronous work schedules for remote workers. The more time employees have together, the more time they can spend collaborating and problem-solving.
