Remote working can increase stress and worsen well-being, studies show - Business Insider

found that 41% of remote workers reported high stress levels, compared to just 25% of office workers.One of the reasons for this could be the "out of sight, out of mind" mentality that's commonplace toward remote workers, which leads to a lack of trust, feelings of being an outsider and a tendency for people to think their colleagues are talking negatively about them behind their back.

In a virtual environment there is a tendency to focus too much on tasks and too little on relationships. This kind of transactional leadership can be the route taken by leaders who want to get the job done but fail to recognise how important the people are who are completing these tasks. With more emphasis on deadlines and routine information, virtual workers can feel treated as a cog in a machine, rather than an essential part of the team.

The right kind of communication is key to overcoming the trials and tribulations of virtual working. Employers need to put the right structures in place such as scheduled video calls and regular team-building meetups to build rapport. Bosses need to lead by example and create a culture where those outside the office feel valued.

ConversationUK Strongly disagree based upon my own experience working remotely. I love the freedom to be wherever I choose and with whomever I choose.
