SPOTLIGHT
Remote Work Fatigue: Is Productivity at Risk?
As remote work becomes the standard for many companies, employees are increasingly experiencing "Zoom fatigue" — that drained, overworked feeling caused by endless virtual meetings, constant notifications, and blurred work-life boundaries.
📉 The stats tell the story: A recent Forbes report found that 69% of remote employees feel increased burnout from digital communication tools, which directly impacts engagement and productivity. When employees are mentally exhausted, collaboration suffers, innovation declines, and overall performance takes a hit.
So, how can HR keep teams energized while balancing communication and avoiding meeting overload?
✔ Encourage real breaks — Back-to-back calls aren’t sustainable.
✔ Set clear boundaries — Define work hours and expectations to employees.
✔ Make engagement meaningful — Consider less frequent but more impactful check-ins.
Remote work shouldn’t mean remote disengagement.
Want expert-backed strategies to keep your remote team motivated? Read these actionable tips:
