Honest question: in which way does productivity improve? Is that measurable? Or is that just a well-being feeling for meeting colleagues IRL?

In day to day remote work do you work together, or is it fully async with some chat-only meetings?

My teams velocity increased when we started doing hybrid instead of full remote. Of course thats not proof of anything as our jira points arent objective but it definitely lines up with feeling more productive. We were pretty async while remote. I dont think remote without productivity loss is impossible, but you need very skilled managers and most companies dont have those.

Personal opinion: I think more sync work is needed even when remote. Making all work async makes things harder, not working remotely.

You had less meetings.
