Working from home increases productivity

Working from home has proven to increase productivity in employees. In an office setting, a person is interrupted by coworkers frequently so they lose concentration, then have to gain it back. Remote employees do not have to endure typical office distractions and conversations so they remain focused for longer periods of time. A study at Stanford Univerity concluded there was a drastic boost in employee performance when allowed to work from home. Productivity increased by thirteen percent per week, which is equivalent to a full day of work.^[1] Telecommuters often work longer hours, with shorter and more infrequent breaks. Employees are also less likely to call in sick or take vacation days. There is no separation from office and home life, so people typically spend more time working instead of commuting, taking a lunch break, or talking to coworkers. Companies are able to earn more productivity out of their employees by allowing them to work from home.^[2]
