Description
Summary:According to the European Commission (2020), there was only 15% of employees in the EU that had "ever" teleworked, with only 5.4% that "usually" and only 9% that "at least sometimes" worked from home in 2019. That all changed with the pandemic and in 2020, astonishing 48% of employees worked from home "at least sometimes". The aim of this paper was to give an overview of literature regarding remote work culture, analyse key findings and discuss international aspect of remote work. Most of the authors agree that organisational culture is hurting when employees are working remotely. Culture is weakened by the loss of physical contact and failure to address the lack of interpersonal interaction can lead to employees feeling disconnected from the corporate culture. Literature also suggests that teleworkers begin to lose touch with the organisational reality and also showed decline in the quality of relationships with co-workers. Teleworkers have difficulties with integration into the corporate culture therefore culture difficulties can occur.
