Naturally, as well as getting some valuable time back each working day, remote workers save significant amounts of money on gas or public transport costs each month.

However, remote working isn’t all plain sailing. There is some evidence that remote working – or more specifically, not coming into the office – can have a detrimental impact on your career. Remote workers are more likely to be overlooked for promotions, several studies have shown, as they aren’t as present in the office.

There are other downsides, too – especially for the most junior members of the workforce. Generations of office workers have developed key social skills from being in a building, five days a week, with their much more senior peers. Their Gen-Z counterparts – many of whom are reaching their mid-20s with little to no office experience at all – have missed out on formative experiences.

If you confine people to a working environment where every interaction is via messages – and therefore intentional – opportunities for off-the-cuff conversations and inter-company networking start to dry up. And, in this sense, remote roles can be a tad isolating.
