In the past, remote work was shunned by employers out of fear that their staff would be less productive at home. However, recent surveys since the pandemic have shown the exact opposite is true.
At the start of the pandemic it was furniture supply stores that were the busiest – filling orders for desks, computer tables and chairs for employees working at home. Then, as businesses slowly reopened remote workers ventured out to their favorite cafe and restaurant – which allowed for some interaction with people. Along the way they discovered spaces like Folio Coworking Offices in Ferndale and The Collaborative in Mount Clemens.
"We knew that nonprofits would be looking for a way to connect – where everyone could express their concerns and share services like Zoom," Banks said. Whether you're a Fortune 500 company with executives working in one city or flying around the country there are times and spaces available to lease, rent, or even use on a day to day basis.
However, she believes the environmental cause created by working remotely, learning remotely and socializing remotely is going to have a huge impact on mental health in the future and in some cases is already happening.Take your last meeting on Zoom as an example. Instead of listening to everyone and remaining engaged, people say what they need to say. Then they leave the meeting via their mute button and go shopping, or to the kitchen for a snack.
