• CRemote workers need to feel part of the whole.

• B

• C
  88% (22)

Explanation

When facilitating remote work, the most critical organizational concern is ensuring remote employees feel included, connected, and valued as full members of the team - isolation and disconnection are the primary threats to remote worker productivity and retention, making C the correct answer.

Option A is incorrect because remote workers do not inherently require faster equipment; they need appropriate and reliable equipment, but speed is not the defining differentiator from office workers.

Option B is a common distractor - instant messaging tools are one useful tool, but they are a means to an end, not the core consideration. A company could provide every communication tool available and still fail if remote workers feel excluded from culture, decisions, and team cohesion.

Memory tip: Think of the "3 R's of Remote" - Remote workers need to feel Real members of the team. If the answer choice addresses feelings, inclusion, or belonging, it almost always captures the human dimension that management frameworks prioritize over technical ones.
