I want to highlight how the importance of this comment. It highlights a major and common misconception from the OP, which is this: embracing remote work is more than "letting people work remotely". To be truly successful, you have to build a remote culture. That means hallway conversations move somewhere else. It doesn't matter if you sit down the hall or around the world: the experience is the same. Remote people don't miss hallways conversations because hallway conversations don't happen (or aren't as important).
