What does this mean?
Remote work is productive work. Thanks to apps that help communicate and manage workflows, plus an uptick in outsourcing, we’re able to get work done from anywhere. But some places make us more productive than others. This includes work environments that emphasize work from home with occasional access to in-person interactions.
While watercooler chatter may be passé, Slack chat is in. In fact, we want more tools that help us plan for the future and build meaningful relationships at work — especially from afar.
Flexibility over the last two years has helped us survive, and now it can help us thrive as we develop new processes, discover new technology and build new approaches to hybrid work.
