The article explores how reliance on remote collaboration tools and screen interactions negatively impacts workplace relationships and psychological safety. With modern desk workers averaging 6.5 hours a day on screens, both the pandemic and hybrid work policies have intensified the challenges of balancing digital and face-to-face interactions. This loss of psychological safety restricts communication, discouraging team members from sharing ideas or criticism, and ultimately stifles innovation. Companies, even those facilitating remote work, are encouraged to foster better in-office collaboration to mitigate these issues.
The erosion of connection often makes individuals less willing to speak openly, ultimately hindering organizations from taking smart risks.
An over-reliance on digital interactions can negatively impact innovation efforts, especially for larger, interdependent teams.
