The Impact of Remote Work on Social Connections

Remote work has significantly affected personal connections and friendships among colleagues. When employees primarily interact online, they miss out on informal communications that foster trust and collaboration, which are crucial during conflicts. The absence of these social interactions can lead to a negative impact on group performance, as the informal sharing of information and support that typically occurs in a physical office is diminished. Without these connections, employees may find themselves at a disadvantage when it comes to problem-solving and navigating workplace dynamics.
