I agree, and I'd go so far as to say that it's important for most office workers, even if you're not planning to be remote.

Writing is a great proxy for thinking, and a lot of people have great thoughts, but aren't good at organizing those thoughts into a coherent story.

(Note that there are a lot of people who think they're "good at writing" because they know a lot of words and can commit them to the screen quickly, and a lot of people who think they are bad at writing because they get a mental block trying to commit words to the screen.)
