  • The importance of empowered leadership in remote work policies

    Type: Research
    Publication date: 9/25/2024

    Remote work has become commonplace. However, this shift can have negative effects, such as a loss of social cohesion and learning on the job. In response, many organizations have implemented remote work policies. Yet, these policies, which often focus solely on setting a fixed number of in-office workdays per week, are not enough to boost employee engagement and job satisfaction. Research shows that empowered leadership is far more important in achieving these goals.
