Remote work is not about never going to the office or never meeting people.

When talking about remote work, there are often misunderstandings.
It's a misunderstanding that if you do remote work, you will 100 percent not go to the office and not have direct communication.

For some reason, when people talk about telework or remote work, they tend to get the impression that it's either the office, home, or a cafe, but that's not the case.
What you need to know as a premise is that remote work is merely one means to smoothly achieve business goals.

It seems to be imagined as having communication problems or actual disadvantages, and for some reason, being difficult to use.

Remote work has many advantages, but also many disadvantages.
Even if it's decades from now, I don't think direct human-to-human communication will disappear.

It's simply a matter of using the benefits gained by getting used to remote work, rather than just promoting remote work.

For example, securing excellent talent from around the world, creating a system that makes childcare and parenting easier, or holding meetings remotely when there's no high necessity to meet in person.
If it streamlines operations, avoids unnecessary costs, and enriches people's lives, then it should be used where appropriate.

If communication is difficult, then you should increase opportunities to meet in person.

Within that, when you think remote is fine for today, you should use remote.
At that time, if someone has to be at home due to various circumstances but still wants to work, they should use remote.
When you absolutely want to work with someone you can't physically meet, you should utilize platform services that manage remote teams.

To efficiently manage operations and improve people's lives in this way, why should one question the appropriate use of new work styles?
However, if you say it's no good and forget to try, then you'll likely be scrambling to respond in the near future.

From now on, not only remote work but various work styles will be proposed and increase.
Within that, it's up to you which work style suits your organization and what methods to adopt.
Organizations that have pioneered and accumulated experiments with new work styles will likely demonstrate their power in the next era, but there are also methods that are not necessary if you are only thinking about the present.
Which means you choose is up to you.
Remote work is merely one of the newly proposed methods.

What's truly important is the discerning eye to accurately choose which way of working will improve everyone's lives more and allow work to be carried out smoothly.
Among the benefits and drawbacks raised by many people, you simply choose what you believe to be right; neither denial nor affirmation are anything more than decision-making factors.

What kind of work style is good now?
For the future, what kind of work methods should we adopt?
We want to cultivate a discerning eye.
