“ Our results show that firm-wide remote work caused the collaboration network of workers to become more static and siloed, with fewer bridges between disparate parts. Furthermore, there was a decrease in synchronous communication and an increase in asynchronous communication. Together, these effects may make it harder for employees to acquire and share new information across the network.”
So less interruptions and more asynchronous work. That’s awesome! But it’s framed as a negative outcome.
Do we really think that a company fully geared up for in-office work for over 100,000 employees in the USA alone would produce an impartial report on the effects of remote work?
