Recommendation

Pandemic restrictions enabled remote work on a massive scale. Nicholas Bloom began studying the phenomenon over a decade prior to the COVID-19 pandemic and found that it has many positive aspects. Now, as Aki Ito reports for Business Insider UK, Bloom has updated and broadened his research and has begun to caution employers to slow down this innovation. All workers and managers will want to acquaint themselves with the pluses and minuses of remote work provided by this thoughtful analysis.

Take-Aways

  • A dramatic increase in remote work sparked new interest in Nicholas Bloom’s research.
  • Bloom initially found that remote work has many benefits, but now cautions about potential downsides, as well.
  • Widespread remote or hybrid work is a new phenomenon and may present yet unforeseen challenges.
