| For many people, working from home has been a perk of the COVID-19 pandemic. The flexibility and autonomy workers desired for years became a forced reality overnight. But a new study from VitalSmarts found that while work-from-home may have boosted employee satisfaction, it has also negatively and significantly impacted a key performance indicator – communication.

Yet speaking up and establishing a culture of dialogue is essential to ensuring employees feel able to address and solve individual, cultural, and organizational challenges.
