I think what is still missing in the home office is codification, just like real life social interaction are codified. But it will take time. * door open in private office: I’m available. -- People should get the habit of setting their status properly in slack or whatever they use * visual contact: when I talk afk, people look at me. -- Our tools must become better for this and multiple Screens must become the norm. One screen must always show other participants video in a call, this screen must have the camera mounted just above it. * audio: in the office, when someone talks, everyone gets spatial full band audio. And no dogs barking. — noise cancelling in videoconferencing has become amazing, and I even see spatial audio starting (sound coming from the position of the participants video on the screen). But Bluetooth audio quality still sucks and people still use sucky headphones with bad microphones. Here again, there should be a regular mandatory checkup with IT to ensure everything is set up as good as possible in home office to ensure best possible audio to coworkers. * appearances: in the office, there are no virtual backgrounds where half the headset keeps missing, I don’t have to worry about what’s in my background. — here again, employees should receive training on how to set up their home office. You have kids? Put the wall behind you. Agree on a visual "do not disturb" sign at home and stick to it. And for the love of god please dress up a bit and groom. Yes it costs time but it is part of social interaction and signals respect and attention to others when on a video call. Plus you will be more inclined to turn video on if you look good. Home office must become a norm with its codes as well, just like working in the office. We're not there yet and that's why it's painful at the moment.
