Remote work has become a permanent feature of labour markets. It can reduce commuting costs, expand flexibility, and help firms recruit workers from a wider talent pool (Barrero et al. 2023, Aksoy et al. 2025a). But it also changes how employees learn from each other, receive feedback, and build attachment to the firm. This creates a practical question for firms: how can they preserve the benefits of remote work while restoring some of the workplace interactions that support performance and retention?
