RE:RE:RE:RE:ARE people not understanding whats happening? The current data does not support your views that we are going to go back to the office. I know anecdotally from friends and colleagues that they are working from home most days of the week. I have personally asked them if this is going to change and they tell me it's not. In the US, employees are working from home at least 2-3 days a week and there has been no reversal of trends out there. This has been a structural change in the work week with the hybrid model gaining popularity and increased productivity from employees that may partially explain the resilient economy. People are getting more work done and the employer can save on leasing costs from office space.
A study by Standford of 16,000 workersover 9 months found that working from home increase productivity by 13%. This increase in performance was due to more calls per minute attributed to a quieter more convenient working environment and working more minutes per shift because of fewer breaks and sick days.
In this same study workers also reported improved work satisfaction, and attrition rates were cut by 50%.
Working Remotely Can Increase Productivity up to 77%
77% of those who work remotely at least a few times per month show increased productivity, with 30% doing more work in less time and 24% doing more work in the same period of time according to a survey by ConnectSolutions.
