It is obvious that remote work is expanding more than ever, and many people are seeing a shift in their work styles. However, this sudden transition to remote work also creates news challenges of overcoming difficulties in team communication.

According to a survey conducted by ITmedia Inc. in mid-March, 64% of companies are currently implementing remote work, more than three times more than last year.
