Many organisations have adopted a new policy towards ‘working from home’ or ‘working from anywhere’ and have discovered that many employees want more flexible working patterns in the future. They expect to be traveling less and to see a greater focus on virtual and hybrid meetings. However, there are potential downsides to this shift. A weakening of the social bonds between colleagues and a challenge to company cultures means that greater efforts are needed to maintain a powerful team culture, with special focus on team communication. Managers need to lead by example and be great communicators and listeners themselves.
