Is Working Home Bad for Productivity?
Whether you’re trying to decide if working from home is right for you or simply need to convince someone that it’s a good move for your career, it’s important to note that remote work is not bad for productivity. At least, as far as the statistics are concerned.
Our research found that productivity actually increases as businesses where remote and hybrid working conditions are available. Even better, other studies have found that work-life balance increases, which has a positive impact on employee wellbeing and retention in the long run.
To be clear, though, remote work isn’t for everyone. If you distract easily or love the social elements of working in an office, remote work can certainly have a negative impact on your mental health and cause you to fall behind on your work. Still, the flexibility is certainly worth it if you can find a way to combat those issues.
