Remote Revolution: What Companies Still Need to Learn About Working from Home

The pandemic has accelerated a change that was already underway: working from home. Companies that were previously reluctant to adopt flexible work models were forced to implement remote work on a large scale. However, after more than four years of adaptation, many have still not managed to fully integrate working from home into their business model.

According to a 2024 survey, 62% of companies say that the transition to working from home has been more challenging than expected. The difficulties range from team management to adapting internal processes. Although working from home has proven to be advantageous in many aspects, the lack of a solid strategy and an adapted organizational culture are the main obstacles.

The Challenge of Remote Management

One of the biggest mistakes made by many companies is treating working from home as a mere extension of the in-person model. This leads to failures in crucial areas, such as communication, engagement and productivity monitoring. The survey revealed that 55% of remote workers say that communication with leadership has improved, but 48% still face difficulties due to a lack of clarity and adequate tools.

In addition, the lack of closer and more personalized monitoring makes it difficult to build a relationship of trust. This can result in a demotivating remote work environment, where employees feel isolated and without proper guidance.
