Adam Taylor, CEO of a creative agency, discusses the complexities of remote work post-pandemic, signaling a need to transition from virtual work discussions to emphasizing in-person collaboration for thriving workplace culture. While remote work provided short-term comfort and flexibility, underlying issues such as burnout and weakened communication emerged over time, leading to diminished productivity and errors. Taylor notes the importance of physical presence in fostering corporate culture, noting that real-time interactions, casual conversations, and shared experiences develop stronger workplace bonds than virtual communications can achieve.
Remote work didn’t elevate our performance. It eroded it.
It’s hard to build culture over Slack threads and Zoom check-ins.
Culture lives in real time—in spontaneous conversations, creative collisions and shared momentum.
We had to hire additional people to pick up the slack.
