Study: Working from home is more productive

The economy is in a phase of change and this has brought a major shift in how people find ways of earning money. The biggest resulting change has occurred in how people are now doing their work from the comfort of their homes.

A recent study carried out by Stanford has indicated that if most Americans are doing their office work from home, and are managing to be more productive than their office working counterparts.

There is still some concern among the top management specifically to allow more freedom to employees so that they could get their work done from their homes. Take for example the airline industry, where JetBlue are comfortable with their call center employees working from home but on the other Southwest have no such initiative.

Some interesting facts found during the study include:

• An overall average of 12 percent increase was seen in productive from home
• A much greater level of work satisfaction was seen in employees when working from home
• Workers were much less affected by tiredness and lack of energy when working from home.

So guys, what is your opinion of an employee working from home? Would you want a job which will allow you to do that?
