My latest research on the Future of Work with my friends at RingCentral is live. We surveyed 4,000 remote workers to find out about their moods, social engagement, home offices, group vs individual work effectiveness, productivity and more.

-We found levels of productivity varied by types of tasks, with group work being the biggest struggle.

-Caretakers fared better than non-caretakers as it related to mental wellbeing, greater productivity and feeling more connected.

-We also found that woman had more challenges than men when it came to working from home.

-We sifted through the data and found a persona we dubbed the “remote champion”, a unique persona of a resilient worker who is not only persevering through the pandemic but also is feeling connected to others, physically and emotionally, healthy and productive.

Here's my post, which links to the high-level PDF on the RingCentral website. Thank you Dave Peck, my contact at RingCentral for the partnership.
