Quotes From This Episode:

“Remote work had a bit of a stigma pre-pandemic. The norm was to have all your staff in the same place, so remote team members were seen more as part-time elements. Remote workers faced problems like fragmented communication, loneliness and a lack of team integration. Many of these issues are being addressed much better now that remote working has become the norm.”
