While remote work offers numerous benefits, it also poses unique challenges for collaboration and alignment. According to a survey conducted by Buffer in 2023, the top three challenges remote workers face are opportunities for collaboration, loneliness, and working more/impending burnout. Without solutions for these sticking points, the absence of face-to-face interaction and physical proximity may hinder the seamless flow of information, impede effective teamwork, and create difficulties in establishing a shared sense of direction. Proactively addressing these challenges is crucial for remote-only teams to foster a culture of collaboration and maintain alignment toward their goals.
