It is often said that working from home makes employees more productive. Without a long commute, workers have more time and energy, and they can concentrate without being interrupted by colleagues. Many companies have therefore welcomed remote work as a way to cut costs and raise output at the same time.
However, productivity is not the only thing an office provides. New ideas are often born in casual conversations that nobody planned. Younger employees learn their jobs by watching how experienced colleagues handle problems. These chances are easily lost when everyone works alone at home. Remote work may save time, yet what it saves in hours it can cost in learning and creativity. Companies should count this hidden cost before they close their offices.

在宅勤務は社員の生産性を高める、とよく言われます。長い通勤が無ければ、働く人には時間と体力の余裕ができ、同僚に邪魔されずに集中できます。そのため多くの企業は、費用を減らしながら生産量も上げる方法として、在宅勤務を歓迎してきました。しかし、職場が与えてくれるものは生産性だけではありません。新しいアイデアは、誰も予定していなかった何気ない会話から生まれることがよくあります。若い社員は、経験のある同僚が問題にどう対処するかを見て、仕事を覚えます。全員が家で一人で働くと、こうした機会は簡単に失われます。在宅勤務は時間を節約するかもしれませんが、時間で得をした分、学びと創造性で損をすることがあります。企業は職場を閉じる前に、この隠れた費用を計算に入れるべきです。
