Summary of key findings and implications for recommended or enforced remote work

Finding	Implication
Feeling forced	There is a difference between being and feeling forced to work remotely, which
	is important to acknowledge in order to minimize its effect. Feeling forced affects
	many aspects negatively, such as productivity, communication, meeting quality, and
	well-being. This is essential when considering future work arrangements. It is
	important to either let the practitioner choose where to work (in office or remote),
	or all team members should be working under the same premise, i.e., all in office or
	all remotely.
Conflicts and	A substantial number of practitioners have changed teams during the pandemic, but
disagreements	conflicts and disagreements in their teams have not substantially increased. For a
	new team to mature, and eventually perform as a group, it is important to go through
	a phase of conflicts and disagreements. This may be a warning signal that the teams
	have not matured enough to perform at their very best. Hence, more conflicts may
	arise when the teams start working together onsite.
