Remote Culture

Companies utilize tech and services to be more inclusive toward remote employees

Trend - Work culture is important to companies as it creates a sense of belonging for employees, contributing to their wellbeing and loyalty. As remote workers and freelancers increase in numbers, many businesses search for ways to expand their culture beyond the constraints of the office building through technology and third-party services.

Insight - The digitization of work has made it possible for employees to opt-in for remote work, which omits the stressors and distractions commonly found in the office environment. However, in doing so, these individuals are prone to feelings of isolation as they are removed from the sense of culture that is fostered in the workplace. Products and services that enable cultural connectivity allow remote consumers to partake in work-specific rituals, enabling them to feel more secure and included.
Workshop Question - What technology can you embrace in your business model to make remote employees feel more included?
Trend Themes
1. Virtual Connectivity for Remote Workers - As more people work remotely, products and services that enable cultural connectivity and allow for participation in work-specific rituals can foster a sense of belonging and inclusion.
2. Hyperreal VR Experiences - Pure Realism's process of capturing real-world 3D environments to create true-to-life VR experiences presents opportunities for disruptive innovation in training, remote collaboration, and other industries.
3. Remote Team Bonding - Nitroom's virtual parties, workshops, and events offer a solution to the challenge of remote team bonding and support more meaningful conversations by arranging them in smaller 'rooms.'
Industry Implications
1. Remote Work - As remote work becomes increasingly popular, businesses in various industries can benefit from providing solutions that foster connectivity and inclusion among remote workers.
2. Virtual and Augmented Reality - Innovative processes like Pure Realism's for capturing rich and immersive environments to create VR experiences also have applications in industries beyond training and remote collaboration, such as gaming and entertainment.
3. Employee Benefits and Services - Firstbase's all-in-one solution for remote workers presents an opportunity for businesses to support their employees and make the transition to remote work less daunting.
