Microsoft study assessing its 61,100 employees claims that remote work diminished communication and collaboration amongst teams

Adding further heat to the work-from-home versus work-from-office debate,&nbsp;a study of Microsoft&rsquo;s 61,100 employees conducted by <a href="https://www.editorji.com/story/microsoft-announces-60-000-000-000-buyback-hikes-dividend-for-12th-straight-year-1631673497359">Microsoft</a>&nbsp;claims that remote work diminished communication and collaboration amongst teams.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Assessing&nbsp;rich data on the emails, calendars, instant messages, video/audio calls and workweek&nbsp;hours&rsquo;&nbsp;of its&nbsp;own&nbsp;workers, the tech behemoth published the peer-reviewed study&nbsp;in the journal&nbsp;Nature Human&nbsp;Behaviour.&nbsp;

According to the study, people worked longer hours during the pandemic, driving up&nbsp;the average workweek inside the company by 10 per cent.&nbsp;But it may not mean people were working more, said the researchers. The increase could be due to&nbsp;the spreading out of work across the day with breaks or interruptions for non-work activities.&nbsp;&nbsp;
The study&nbsp;also&nbsp;found that formal business groups and informal communities within the company became less interconnected and more siloed. Overall, the employees added fewer new collaborators and parted away from fewer existing ones.&nbsp;
But sceptics warn that the study was conducted between&nbsp;December 2019 and June 2020, which was an early period in the outbreak. With so much uncertainty and fear in the world,&nbsp;collaboration&nbsp;wasn&rsquo;t exactly a priority&nbsp;then&nbsp;and not many had started using&nbsp;video conferencing&nbsp;tools&nbsp;like Zoom.

Work culture has significantly changed in the last year&nbsp;with&nbsp;remote work&nbsp;and communication becoming fairly systematic&nbsp;in&nbsp;many companies.&nbsp;This is why&nbsp;it's&nbsp;important to&nbsp;assess the context of the study&nbsp;before&nbsp;applying the learnings to the present day.

66% of workers want companies to allow flexible or hybrid working models and 30% are ready to quit if their employer calls them to the office, finds WEF survey.

WFH, Office or Hybrid? How employees feel about post-pandemic work culture

66% of workers want companies to allow flexible or hybrid working models and&nbsp;30% are ready to quit if their employer calls them to the office, finds WEF&nbsp;survey

Many of us have enjoyed or tolerated working in physical offices
The Covid-19 pandemic has completely changed the way we work
For many employees, work from home prompted&nbsp;flexibility &amp; greater control
As virus spread slows down, companies want to resume in-person work
But most people are not ready to return to the old format of office work
66% of workers want more flexibility or hybrid&nbsp;working: WEF&nbsp;survey
Strongest support from&nbsp;women, parents, adults under 35, high earners
People want 2.5 days of work from home per week on average
Indian workers want&nbsp;3.4 work from home days a week
30% ready to quit or switch jobs if forced to go to the office full-time
52% miss their colleagues; 65% say they are more productive at home
Experts warn of the possible problems of flexible working
Younger workers may&nbsp;lose out on networking or peer support
Leaders at risk of losing empathy and becoming too out of touch
Lack of work-office boundaries can lead to burnout &amp; mental illnesses
Every organisation must examine its structure before choosing a model

66% of workers want companies to allow flexible or hybrid working models and&nbsp;30% are ready to quit if their employer calls them to the office, finds WEF&nbsp;survey

The concept of a workplace&nbsp;or physical office&nbsp;where every staffer is expected to show up for&nbsp;8&nbsp;to&nbsp;9 hours&nbsp;every day of the week, is one that many of us have lived, enjoyed&nbsp;or&nbsp;tolerated for the&nbsp;better part of our memory.&nbsp;&nbsp;
But the coronavirus pandemic and its accompanying stay-at-home orders&nbsp;have completely changed&nbsp;the way we work.&nbsp;The lockdown normalised working from home and this has prompted a&nbsp;sense&nbsp;of flexibility&nbsp;and more control&nbsp;for workers.&nbsp;As the virus spread slows down, more and more employers are asking their staff to resume in-person work.

However, findings of a new&nbsp;World Economic Forum (WEF) survey revealed that most people are not ready to go back&nbsp;to the way things used to be. Of the 12,500 workers surveyed,&nbsp;the majority (or 66%) of people want employers to allow flexible or hybrid working models going forward.&nbsp;
The echos in support of flexibility were strongest among women, parents of young children, adults under 35 and those with higher education or income.&nbsp;However, not everyone wants to work from home all the time. People who want flexible work advocate for 2.5 work from home days on average, while Indians, in particular, want 3.4 work from home days a week.&nbsp;&nbsp;
The survey of workers in 29 nations also found that&nbsp;nearly a third (or 30%) of workers are ready to quit or consider looking for another job if they were forced to go back to the office full-time.&nbsp;
Around half (52%) of the people said they miss their colleagues, whereas 65%&nbsp;said they are more&nbsp;productive with a flexible work schedule.&nbsp;
But some experts&nbsp;have&nbsp;warned&nbsp;against this&nbsp;overenthusiastic&nbsp;love for flexibility.&nbsp;An International Labour Organisation report said that Gen-Z or early-career workers lose out on the networking and peer support that was normal prior to the pandemic.&nbsp;There is also the risk of leaders losing empathy and becoming out of touch with&nbsp;their employees and their individual needs. Additionally, it could become hard for some people to maintain a work-life balance as the lines between work and home get&nbsp;blurred. This&nbsp;may lead to burnout and mental health issues.

All in all, the office vs flexibility debate&nbsp;will need to be addressed after a fundamental examination of a company&rsquo;s operating structure and needs
