Remote Work Productivity Wanes As the Pandemic Wears On

After a year of working from home, employees are starting to feel the burden of online meetings and remote communication. Remote work schedules are starting to impact productivity, signaling the first signs that employees won’t work like this forever. However, the pandemic has changed the workplace permanently, and employees also aren’t likely to go back to “normal” either.

“We are starting to see a curve of diminishing returns. That initial productivity boost from having the extra couple of hours at home and not in the car is fading. We’re hitting a plateau, if not starting to recede,” Mark Coxon, technology sales director at Tangram, tells GlobeSt.com.
