Why Creativity Isn’t As Effective Remotely
February 25, 2023

In episode #2380, Eric and Neil share their take on why creativity isn’t as effective remotely. By its nature, remote work means fewer collaborations, spontaneous interactions, and open communication between teammates across any organization. With virtual work changing how (and where) we do our jobs, we believe that it is becoming essential to create new strategies and habits in order to keep the creative sparks flying! Tune in today to hear our thoughts on what this will look like.
