Remote work during the COVID-19 pandemic may have relaxed company expectations concerning employees’ business attire. But it raised expectations for employees’ qualifications, work experience, skills and educational credentials when hiring, according to new research from Northeastern University.

Riesman research professor, Thomas E. Moore faculty fellow and an associate professor of management and organizational development at Northeastern.
