Today, Miro released our new report, “A Year of Remote Work,” in which we surveyed 1,000 remote workers to see how remote work has affected their personal lives, professional lives, and mental health.  Among our findings: Nearly half (49%) of people who are married or in live-in partnerships say that working from home has improved their relationship with their spouse or partner. 62% of parents with children under 18 say that working from home has improved their relationships with their kids. 57% of remote workers say they are more likely to multitask during virtual meetings than they were before the pandemic. One-third of knowledge workers (33%) are awake for less than 20 minutes before they begin work in the morning.I’m interested in hearing from Miro users whether these (or any other findings in the report) resonate. Any thoughts?

On October 13-15, we hosted Distributed 2020 — our second annual virtual conference. This year, we brought together industry leaders and experts to help answer the burning questions on the minds of thousands of teams working remotely around the world. We had 24 information-packed presentations, interactive workshops, and panel discussions to tackle these burning questions. We were incredibly honored and excited to welcome over 30,000 registrants and hosted between 1,300 and 3,000 live viewers for each session. We’ve gathered the video recordings, visual notes, and Miro boards for each session in the blog post: Recap of Distributed: The virtual event to help teams adapt, evolve, and thrive - MiroBlog | A blog by Miro  Recordings are also available in our YouTube playlist. Remote after 2020: Remote forever, distributed, or something else?
