Strong workplace relationships matter for many reasons, and the Work Trend Index identifies several of them. In contrast, the number of people posting small group or one-on-one chats has increased by 87%. Between April 2020 and February 2021, the number of people posting chats in a Teams channel - designed to include the whole team - have decreased by five percent. Microsoft Teams chats reveal a similar trend. As people shifted into lockdown, they focused on connecting with the people they were used to seeing regularly, letting weaker relationships fall to the wayside. Simply put, companies became more siloed than they were pre-pandemic. And while interactions with close networks are still frequent, we’re seeing that now - one year in - even these close team interactions have started to diminish. Specifically, at the onset of the pandemic, we saw that interactions within close networks increased, while interactions with distant networks diminished. People consistently report feeling disconnected, and in studying anonymized collaboration trends between billions of Outlook emails and Microsoft Teams meetings, we saw a clear trend: the shift to remote work shrunk people’s networks.
One of the biggest and most worrisome changes we saw across these studies was the significant impact that a year of full-time remote work had on organizational connections - the fundamental basis of social capital. It also includes a survey of more than 30,000 people in 31 countries around the world. Microsoft’s annual Work Trend Index is part of this initiative and includes an analysis of trillions of productivity signals - think emails, meetings, chats, and posts - across Microsoft and LinkedIn’s user base. This year, teams across Microsoft (including ours) have conducted over 50 studies to understand how the nature of work itself has changed since early 2020. While employees report more meetings than ever, they also report more isolation and less connection. The shift to remote work, however, has changed the nature of social capital in organizations - and not necessarily for the better. And it contributes to lower absenteeism, lower turnover, and better organizational performance It spurs new ideas and energizes our thinking. Social capital is also critical to a thriving workplace more broadly, for both employees and organizations. It helps knowledge and information flow. And the reason you can turn to someone else and offer extra help is that you’ve built a base of familiarity and goodwill through these unplanned interactions that once filled our workdays. You also help others build their social capital when you go above and beyond to support them with knowledge, mentoring, or kindness. It shows up when you need expertise and someone you’d only met once was able to offer it. You rely on your social capital every time you’ve hit a dead end and someone pitched in to help you, even though they didn’t have to. These informal interactions are key to what’s known as social capital - benefits people can get because of who they know.
