Remote work can hinder the onboarding and success of new hires and junior employees, as physical presence provides important advantages for training and building relationships.
Poorly executed hybrid work plans can lead to discord and unproductive teamwork, while remote work can contribute to health issues and hostile work environments if not properly managed.
Remote workers tend to work 3.5 hours less per week compared to in-person workers, with a significant portion of saved time allocated to leisure activities rather than additional work.
Anecdotal evidence suggests that productivity may decline on days when everyone is working remotely, although opinions on this matter vary, and some workers report better work-life balance and higher productivity in remote or hybrid work setups.
