This article summarizes a global study on how remote work during COVID-19 affected employees’ sense of connection to colleagues, using data from 137,487 workers across 88 countries. One key finding is that only 42% felt connected, with significant variations by age, gender, home environment, and country. Younger workers and those with poor workspaces or unreliable technology struggled most, while women reported higher satisfaction. Practical recommendations for managers seeking to boost the sense of connection in remote and hybrid work settings include emphasizing flexible policies, intentional interaction, and targeted support.
The briefing saves busy executives, strategists and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy-to-digest format.
