Remote work | Slack's UK head on employees growing closer

Employees have come up against new challenges since working remotely, from getting used to communicating via tech to working alone in their homes.

But it seems despite these challenges, workers are now feeling like they have grown closer to their colleagues as a result of the new way of working.

Research commissioned by Slack has found that 53% of 2,000 adults working remotely believe that they have a better understanding of their colleagues as human beings.

43% of respondents also shared that it is now easier to connect with their colleagues than it was when they were working in the same office.
