Is Remote Work Just About Getting Things Done?

The pandemic has forced a lot of organizations to shift into remote work. Some people were skeptical about it, but there’s no doubt remote work allowed things to still get done. Microsoft recently did a study on 61,000 of their employees. They found that during the pandemic, employees were still able to get things done and be productive. However, long-term creativity actually went down. So the question is, do we just want to get things done? Or do we want more? This is why in-person work still has a place in our society. That is where a lot of great leadership comes from. That's where psychological safety comes from. That's where training and development and growth comes from. --------------------- This episode is sponsored by Workplace from Meta. Workplace is a business communication tool from Meta.
