A year-long study by the Finnish Institute of Occupational Health reveals that while remote working enhances well-being and lightens workloads for some employees, not all benefit equally. Men with children and independent workers showed positive results, likely due to flexible schedules. However, challenges arise, including a diminished sense of community and increased strain on supervisors. For childless men, the lack of workplace interaction was seen as particularly detrimental. The study underscores the complex nature of remote work, highlighting both its advantages and disadvantages based on individual circumstances.
Remote work can erode trust and a sense of community, as it reduces face-to-face encounters and positive interaction between colleagues.
These disadvantages of remote work are often similar for different groups, while the benefits are more unevenly distributed.
