What:  Remote working is here to stay, and has changed the relationship between white collar workers and their employers.

Why it is important:  All employers, whatever the size, have to adapt and review in depth the way they approach teamwork.

According to the Financial Times, as knowledge workers spent less time in the office, they might become less loyal and probably increasingly interested in time spent with friends and family.

With work from home, work becomes more transactional and less social in the name of efficiency. As a consequence, if employees spend less time together, their social ties, both between each other and with the employer, will weaken. Simply put, “works becomes less important in our lives”.

Forcing employees to come back full time in the office is not the solution, as this might result in massive resignations, but adaptation is needed.
