According to a recent study conducted by Joblist, more than a third of people who telework feel very invisible to their bosses, this feeling is especially common in the case of women, who also state that they have to make a lot more effort to stand out and get noticed.

Teleworkers also point out that they miss the relationship with superiors and coworkers, and the fact of being able to talk to them and solve doubts or questions, since it seems that people in this situation go an average of about 6 days without talking to their bosses.

To all this, it should also be added that 64% of people who work from home declare doing an extra 4.6 hours of overtime in a half-week, which is another extra effort added to this feeling of invisibility that we are talking about.

One way to improve this situation is for company leaders to try to establish daily communications with people who work remotely, both to exchange feelings and to encourage the emergence of new ideas. It is also important to continue promoting teamwork.
