Challenges Of Asynchronous Communication
- Async communication blurs the line between work and home, something that already became fuzzy since smartphones came(starting with the Blackberry, for those who remember them).
- There is a feeling of disconnection from the rest of the team members, with the interactions lacking visual cues and warmth.
- The workers are responsible for being up to date with every new development.
- Work is done alone and each worker is responsible for their own productivity, with some employers seeing it as a trust issue, with increased monitoring.
- As companies have different work environments and data privacy issues, problems of micromanagement arise with remote workers doing asynchronous communication.
- Lack of socializing and a dearth of informal conversations are common problems for team members working alone at home in different parts of the world.
- Messages on Slack, even with the emoji are sometimes misinterpreted by colleagues. Many workers are email fatigued, more prone to misread the message.
