According to survey results, managers and employees view remote work significantly differently.
Managers are more likely to think that it decreases productivity, whereas employees are more likely to say that it increases productivity.

The solution is clearer communication and procedures, and for many businesses, the optimal policy will be hybrid management with two to three required days in the office.
