Remote workers are less engaged and more stressed

Discover how remote work impacts employee engagement and stress, and learn strategies to enhance connection and performance in your team.

The key insights from the article are that remote workers feel less connected to their company’s mission compared to in-office workers, and this lack of connection can negatively impact performance. Exceptional managers who communicate effectively can help improve the connection between remote workers and the company’s purpose. Hybrid work arrangements, where employees go into the office some days per week, seem to result in the highest connection to company purpose. Overall, while engagement levels are increasing, remote workers may still be more disconnected than in-office workers.
