One of the few benefits we've found during this whole virtual working thing is that many people believe they now have a better relationship with their coworkers.
In fact, according to a study by the visual content platform Canva, 76% of people who have been working from home throughout the pandemic say they now actually have a better relationship with their coworkers.
The study had a number of other findings, including:
-50% say remote work has improved their productivity
-76% say their relationships with co-workers are stronger as a result of the shift to work-from-home during 2020
-75% have a new-found confidence in their role and position within a team;
-Almost half (46%) say remote work has improved collaboration with colleagues
-52% want a flexible work-home arrangement in 2021
-30% want to continue working from home full-time indefinitely
Workers said the shift to working from home was challenging initially, but started to improve by the end of 2020.
