Which One’s Right for You?
Productivity – There are two schools of thought. The first believes that remote workers have increased productivity because they can choose their productive hours. The second thinks that in-person collaborations build stronger teams and encourage innovation.
Office space – A hybrid workspace needs less physical office space, which saves money on rent and utilities.
Team dynamics – Regular in-person work strengthens relationships and builds trust in a team. This is harder to achieve with video conferencing alone.
Remote workforce challenges – Managing remote employees is more challenging due to different time zones, communication gaps, and trying to keep team cohesion.
Practical tip – Employers should check in with their staff regularly, whether remote employees or in-office staff. Address concerns about the work environment, resources, and work-life balance. A happy team is a successful team.
