Hidden costs of a fully remote setup for employees include higher home utility bills (electricity, internet etc...), personal expenses for ergonomic equipment or office supplies, and potential mental health impacts from isolation like burnout or reduced collaboration.Employers might save on office space but could face costs from lower team cohesion or onboarding challenges.
