This study contributes to the ongoing dialogue surrounding the benefits and drawbacks of remote work programs. The purpose of this research is to understand how communication and interdependence of work tasks influence the level of isolation perceived by remote workers. Remote workers are especially vulnerable to feelings of isolation in the workplace (Cooper & Kurkland, 2002; Elst et al., 2017; Dekker & Rutte, 2007; Golden, Viega & Dino, 2008), which can lead to decreased job performance (Golden et al., 2008), impede professional development (Cooper & Kirkland, 2002), and lead to negative work-related well-being (Elst et al., 2017). The results of this work will provide valuable insight when considering, designing, or implementing a remote work program
