Pretty strong chance the “noticers” are on-prem, not remote, and may be (literally) prejudiced.* Also, bit of indication in “hard numbers out of project mgmt system” and “all the little asides, ahas…” coupled with “unless they have their headsets on the whole time” that your company may have optimized for local ideas and local capture. Consider (a) ensuring project and idea capture tools are “remote first” oriented (tools that work remotely work just fine in office, inverse is not true), such as dropping whiteboards and using digital collaborative tools for whiteboarding even locally, e.g. … - Excalidraw+ - Microsoft Whiteboard - Samsung Flip2 - Microsoft Surface Hub … and (b) experimenting with elevated telepresence beyond just the green/yellow/red dot: - https://www.remotion.com/ You have to be radical about this: “If it didn’t happen in [remote-first tool], it didn’t happen.” This was the single most important contributor to the culture change at firms I’ve helped go fully remote since the 90s. The nanosecond something elevates from chit chat into an action, everyone in the company needs to gate-keep: “Could you please share/ask/direct that in [the digital place]?” The second most important was ensuring [the digital place] is frictionless, using social media habit apps as benchmarks, not, say, Jira. In my experience, after initial chaos, then learning, then crossing a tipping point, productivity went through the roof, and following that, these firms absolutely spanked on-prem only firms at caliber of talent and pace of delivery of outcomes into client hands. > I think a lot of people who want to work at home aren’t interested in their success * There it is.
