The most interesting thing in tech: a great study on remote work and software engineers. It’s an ingenious design and it found, among other things:
Engineers give more feedback to each other when together than when remote.
In the short run, that makes people less efficient! Feedback can slow you down. In the medium and long term, it’s hugely beneficial, though, because it makes everyone better.
In the pandemic, the engineers who were hurt the most were young women—who sought the most feedback when in person—and the ones helped the most were senior women—who no longer spent as much time giving feedback and helping others along once everyone was remote.

#remotework vs in the #office
The never ending debate as to which option is better for #productivity, #culture & outcomes continues to occupy the minds of #business owners & employees across the globe.
This short video discusses a very interesting study that discovered a more nuanced conclusion. Although it was conducted with Software Engineers, I'd guess you would get similar results with #recruiters & most other professions.
One thing that seems to ring true, is that in person interactions are more effective than #online interactions when it comes to #learning. Conversely it also showed that senior people working from home were more productive because they weren't spending as much time teaching younger colleagues. Is it worth the trade off in the long run?
Alas we are no closer to a definitive answer as to which option is better on the whole, it really depends on the person, job, level of experience + a few other factors. There are pros & cons to both.
I'd love to hear if anyone has seen a measurable shift in positive or negative outcomes as a result of either way of working.

More project feedback and opportunities to collaborate are essential traits of high-performing teams in hybrid work environments. The workplace environment is crucial in driving team success. When evaluating integrated #smartworkplace solutions, it's critical to invest in tools that provide deep insights and measurable success metrics, down to the departmental level. Ensure your organization is equipped with the right tools to foster innovation and track space utilization with precision.

I find this video summary from Nicholas Thompson super-interesting in terms of what would be the “best of both worlds” mix for hybrid wfh/remote working ratios. I expect it should vary by role/industry/type and down to individual levels even. Can’t wait to read more;thank you for the share Nicholas.

This story is fantastic. I was a remote worker for most of my career, and longitudinally, my career reflects this study. I used to go into the office for 4 days every few months and I called it the “week I don’t get anything done” but I got and gave tons of feedback and had face-to-face time with people. Being deliberate about that face to face time as a remote worker allowed me to climb, build relationships, etc. It’s not different in an office. But this is where companies mess up on the “in the office”/remote/hybrid debate. It’s not about how much time you are in the office as much as how you use the time. If everyone comes in and gets on a zoom meeting, there’s little point. Or if everyone works different “hybrid” days and the Tuesday/Thursday crowd never sees the monday/Wednesday teammates, it’s a waste of effort.

Such an interesting study. The key takeaway for me from this was that not only is feedback lesser in remote working but it is the women engineers who are most impacted both in remote and in office setup.
It however is no surprise that Senior women Engineers spend more time giving feedback and junior women engineers spend more time receiving and asking for feedback. Some of the best women engineers I have met have been very generous mentors. Junior or senior they are always willing to give feedback and help others grow.

This is really interesting from a gender and age demographic and the « role » or extra load and effort women have to make or are expected to at work:

As Software Engineer working remotely from 3 + years now. I believe it not that hard to build remote teams.
I myself, following this habits describe in the below article.
Give it a read if you have recently joint a remote team or planning join remote teams.
