Recommendation

As co-host of the podcast Empson & Morley: Leading Professional People, Laura Empson does a lot of thinking about work culture. Her roles as senior research fellow at Harvard Law School and professor at the Bayes Business School at University of London only multiply her insights. Still, when asked about how COVID-19 will influence work culture in the long term, she says, “No one knows yet.” In this article, Empson goes on to describe some of the benefits and possible pitfalls of the remote work revolution.

Take-Aways

  • The switch to remote work has two main motivations: greater flexibility for employees, and cost-saving for employers.
  • Going 100% remote will have consequences for a company’s culture, particularly as it relates to mentorship.
  • Remote work impairs development of professional identity.
