Remote work opportunities have existed for some time now; however, since the pandemic hit, working from home or hybrid work environments, have become a reality for much of the workforce. Though we have greatly benefited from evolving technologies that made this virtual workplace possible, they have brought some challenges to our work environment and communication styles. There are ways that we can dramatically improve our online communication and collaboration, but many of us have not had to know them until now.
