In-person and WFH can both have the exact same benefits, they just require totally different approaches.
A lot of people think implementing WFH is just, “we work from home now” and that’s why they struggle with measuring productivity, building social and unified teams, and great communication. I find older generations have the biggest struggle, because they just don’t know how to translate what they’ve always done to have the same outcome online.

I think that is important, keeping everyone involved and touching base. I was part of a team that was busy, in constant communication over calls a bit much at times, but what happened was the leader kept a team member in the dark all the time and she wouldn't know whats happening. I always made it a point to reach everyday and make sure she knew what was happening, if they needed anything etc.
Now we have had changes in our team, its smaller, and a lot less communication, and the reverse has happened to the others. That's why being the office sometimes is better too, you get that human connection and not just texting people.
