And that\u2019s great news for employees, who overwhelmingly embrace remote working. A survey by <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flexjobs.com\/blog\/post\/productive-working-remotely-top-companies-hiring\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">FlexJobs<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> found that:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">97% of employees want the option to work at least partially away from the office.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">79% of employees would be more loyal to their employers if they had flexible work options.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">73% of employees think that remote working is helpful \u2014 rather than harmful \u2014 to building strong work relationships.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img class=\"lazyload\" alt=\"\" height=\"400\" data-src=\"https:\/\/media.planview.com\/clarizen\/wp-content\/upload\/2018\/05\/5-Disconnect-1.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In fact, some employees are so interested in remote working that they\u2019d be willing to make some major concessions. For example, 29% would take a major pay cut, 22% would give up their vacation, and 19% would forego employer-matching retirement contributions. Indeed, on a work landscape where leadership and employees sometimes struggle to see eye-to-eye, the idea of a distributed workforce is met with mutual harmony and consensus, rather than confrontation and conflict.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, in practice remote working isn\u2019t always generating win-win outcomes, and in recent years some enterprises \u2014 including a few high-profile organizations \u2014 have significantly dialed back or eliminated the option. Does this mean that the days of the distributed workforce are numbered? Not at all!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Just Add Chat Apps? Not So Fast!<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The root problem is that some enterprises believe that in order to support remote workers, all they need to do is add a chat app to their existing mix of workforce management tools (e.g. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">spreadsheets, emails, conventional project management software, home grown databases, etc.). Unfortunately, this turns their <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">distributed<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> workforce in to a <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">disconnected<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> workforce that triggers a range of obstacles and frustrations including: \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A lack of effective communication, which leads to misunderstandings, double-work and delays.
