Remote teams lose 10-20% productivity. How do you tackle it?

Stanford Research* shows that remote teams are 10 to 20% less productive.
The main issue seems to be slow communication between team members.
Has this slow-down in communication affected how much your team can get done? Do you have any plans to fix it?

I think it's much more than that. Tech is exponential so it compounds, fast.

Detailed planning is the answer.
Having a handy Gantt chart-based tool, your remote team will be able to increase productivity and enhance work processes.
Gantt charts offer several advantages that can potentially enhance productivity. Firstly, they provide a visual representation of tasks and their timelines, helping remote team members clearly understand project schedules and deadlines. This visual clarity can reduce confusion and miscommunication.
Secondly, Gantt charts facilitate task allocation and resource management. Remote team leaders can assign responsibilities, allocate resources, and identify potential bottlenecks efficiently, ensuring optimal utilization of team members' skills and time.
In order to counteract the 10-20% productivity loss in remote teams, we've incorporated regular virtual team-building activities, clear communication channels, and robust project management tools, along with ensuring work-life balance to maintain morale and motivation, all of which have noticeably boosted our efficiency and output!
weekly progress check-ins with the full team have been really helpful.
