Question

Recent studies indicate that the implementation of remote work policies has led to an increase in employee productivity in many companies. Factors contributing to this trend include reduced commuting time, greater flexibility in work hours, and the ability for employees to create personalised work environments. However, the studies also note that employees who work remotely may experience feelings of isolation and disconnection from their colleagues, which could impact team cohesion and communication. Companies that have adopted remote work policies are now considering whether to continue, modify, or return to traditional in-office work arrangements.
Which of the following conclusion can be most accurately drawn from the above ?

• A. Remote work policies are universally beneficial for all companies and employees
• B. The increase in productivity from remote work is solely due to employees’ ability to create personalized work environments
• C. Companies that implement remote work policies may need to address potential feelings of isolation among employees to maintain team cohesion
• D. Traditional in-office work arrangements are more effective in promoting team communication and collaboration than remote work

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

The conclusion that companies may need to address isolation among remote employees is supported by the study’s findings about feelings of isolation and its impact on team cohesion.
Thus, the correct answer is Option (C).
