Rethinking remote work beyond the productivity debate

Published: 19 June 2026

As debates over remote work persist, 𲹲‑NDZ, a professor at ɬ﷬’s Desautels Faculty of Management, argues the issue is often misunderstood.

Remote work’s success is not inherent—it hinges on preparation and the quality of management. Reyt notes that early evidence of lower performance may reflect outdated practices rather than the limits of remote work itself.

He also stresses that productivity is only one dimension, pointing to benefits like improved work‑life balance and reduced commuting strain. “It’s more complex than simply being more or less productive,” he says, highlighting the need for organizations to adapt to evolving workplace realities.
