WHETHER YOU’RE WORKING IN THE OFFICE OR FROM HOME, MONDAY IS THE MOST PRODUCTIVE DAY OF THE WORKWEEK, ACCORDING TO A NEW STUDY.

THE SURVEY CONDUCTED BY ONEPOLL AND CANON ASKED 2,000 EMPLOYEES ABOUT THE CHALLENGES THEY FACE IN COMMUNICATING WITH CO-WORKERS WITH DIFFERENT PERSONALITY TYPES.

RESULTS SHOW NEARLY TWO-THIRDS (65%) BELIEVE ADOPTING A HYBRID WORK HAS IMPROVED COMMUNICATION SKILLS, MORE INTROVERTS THAN EXTROVERTS AGREED (82% VS. 62%).

OVERALL, NINE IN 10 EMPLOYEES FOUND IT CHALLENGING TO SPEAK UP AT WORK, WITH NEARLY TWO-THIRDS SHARING THIS SENTIMENT WHILE WORKING REMOTELY. 

TECH THAT WOULD IMPROVE COMMUNICATION AT WORK

  • Virtual Reality (e.g., putting on goggles and interacting with a simulated environment) - 48%
  • Collaboration software (e.g., Slack, Notion, Trello, etc.) - 43%
  • An AI-powered multilingual translation tool - 38%
  • Better quality webcams - 37%
  • More modern, personalized intranets - 36%
  • An employee onboarding center - 36%
  • A mobile intranet app - 34%

Survey methodology:

This random double-opt-in survey of 2,002 employed Americans, including 1,018 hybrid workers, was commissioned by Canon U.S.A., Inc. between September 21 and October 13, 2022. It was conducted by market research company OnePoll, whose team members are members of the Market Research Society and have corporate membership to the American Association for Public Opinion Research (AAPOR) and the European Society for Opinion and Marketing Research (ESOMAR).
