Technology’s promise is that, someday, all knowledge workers will be able to work from anywhere – a hammock on the beach, a hut in the mountains, a pressurized pod on the moon. The pandemic accelerated the remote work revolution, but nobody thought it would look like this. Has the move been a net negative, a net positive or a mixed bag? Atlassian’s head of research and insights, Leisa Reichelt set out to answer that question by sending a survey to thousands of remote workers. Their enlightening responses provide insight into how to help your coworkers or team get through the pandemic.

Take-Aways

  • Organic, spontaneous exposure to other people’s work may lead to greater innovation. When working remotely, you may need to facilitate such interactions.
  • Working from home causes some employees to worry that no one will notice their efforts.
  • Other employees finally feel seen for the first time.
