Recommendation

In 2016, several US federal agencies called their remote workers back into the office, claiming a lack of evidence proving the effectiveness of remote work. The result – at least according to some data: an uptick in the frequency of sick leave and vacation requests, no increases in productivity and plummeting employee morale. In fact, Gallup data reinforces the circumstantial evidence collected by the federal agencies. Employers weighing the pros and cons of letting their employees work from home will be interested in learning about Gallup’s findings.

Take-Aways

  • Remote work is on the rise and employees increasingly seek it.
  • Remote work boosts productivity, with working off-site 60% to 80% of the time delivering the best results.
  • Offering remote work options helps lower a company’s environmental footprint.
