Hybrid workers often find themselves coming into empty offices to connect on Zoom to geographically distant colleagues. To make hybrid work work, have hybrid employees come in on the same days or even the same times on a given day. www.sciencenews.org/article/remo...

Remote workers feel isolated. Back-to-office mandates are not a fix
Making social connection part of job design, whether people work remotely, hybrid or in-person, is key to supporting employees‘ well-being.
