- Remote work revolutionized offices.
- Excessive virtual meetings hinder productivity.
- Balancing technology and in-person connections maximizes workplace efficiency.
Zoom fatigue hits home
Former Zoom CMO Janine Pelosi, now CEO of Neat, understands the digital meeting struggle.
Her experience during the pandemic highlighted how remote work destigmatized but also crowded workdays. Pelosi emphasizes the importance of balancing virtual efficiency with genuine human connection.
Packed calendars don’t equal productivity, Pelosi warns. She encourages employees to question meeting necessity and request clear agendas.
Technology improvements remain crucial for bridging the gap between dispersed teams, ensuring smooth communication without lags or glitches.
In-person magic still matters
Despite her videoconferencing background, Pelosi believes face-to-face interactions are irreplaceable.
She advocates for regular team gatherings, creative online activities, and local meet-ups to foster company culture.
These efforts strengthen relationships, ultimately enhancing remote work effectiveness.
