✔Flexibility/Quality of Life
The main benefit on the employee end and, perhaps, the stem of all other employee benefits related to remote work, is the flexibility and subsequent quality of life boost that such workers receive.
Survey results summarized in the Microsoft whitepaper Work without Walls were used to rank the top 10 benefits of working from home from the perspective of the employee. They include:
- Work/home balance (60%)
- Save gas (55%)
- Avoid traffic (47%)
- More productive (45%)
- Less distractions (44%)
- Eliminate long commute (44%)
- Quieter atmosphere (43%)
- Less stressful environment (38%)
- More time with family (29%)
- Environmentally friendly (23%)
