Explore the nuances of remote work in our in-depth analysis. Discover how the right strategies and tools can transform remote work into an effective, productive, and rewarding experience
Fully aligned on the "if one can be remote, all should".
I think that's hard at the same time when a company already has a working on-site culture. You hired a lot of people, and they moved to a location with an office and built their lives there. Sure they'll work from home some days, but they'll keep meeting with others physically and introduce the challenges of some people remote, some people onsite.
Some of the tools that you've shared looks really nice, especially liked the virtual offices idea.
I agree to what you said, hybrid work as it stands today is a compromise and is not an ideal solution. How teams work in the future stays a mystery but enjoyed reading your rationale.
Remote/hybrid work requires the company to invest and train employees. Similarly to the cost of facilities and staff, remote tooling licenses and cultural changes are a big effort and investment. Many companies fail here, they are not ready or simply give up. Then, they come up with all the excuses mentioned in the article...
On the other hand, it is great to see companies succeeding in this transition. Especially the ones promoting flexible hybrid which is from my point of view the easiest and the most complex model at the same time.
