• Improved Productivity. One study recently published in The Quarterly Journal of Economics examined the habits of 16,000 call center employees who were randomly assigned to work in either an office or at home. The result? Those working from home were 13 % more productive. Following that, all employees were given the option to work from home if they desired. Productivity for home workers then improved even more to 22 %.
• Better Sleep. According to a study included in Sleep Health, people with scheduling flexibility slept better than those who had to report to an office at specific times. Why’ s this so important? Because inadequate sleep has been linked to increased risk of automobile crashes, chronic disease and early mortality, and it also impairs our decisionmaking skills and ability to read social and emotional cues.
