Remote, Hybrid, or Office: What Does the Evidence Say?

The remote-versus-office debate runs mostly on opinion and whoever shouts loudest. This gives you the research instead: what the evidence shows on productivity, collaboration and wellbeing for each model, and the factors that make one outperform another for a given team. Useful for deciding rather than arguing.

<context>

**Compare remote, hybrid, and fully in-office working based on the available evidence.**
1. Summarise what the research shows on productivity, collaboration, and wellbeing for each model
2. Identify the factors that make one model outperform others (role type, tenure, personality, management quality)
3. Note the limits and biases in the current research
4. Give a practical recommendation framework: what questions should a team leader ask before deciding on a model?
