How do remote workers really spend their days? Does working from home negatively impact productivity?

Read on to discover the latest data and employee perspectives on how remote workers manage their time, collaborate, train, and move through the professional world as teleworkers. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the end of the COVID-19 pandemic, we noticed an emerging pushback against remote work. In some cases, businesses that had been visible supporters of telecommuting prior to and during the pandemic were now making headlines for calling employees back to brick-and-mortar offices. Employers claimed it was time to ‘get back to work,’ as if working from a home office in itself was the source of a perceived decline in productivity. But what were workers’ experiences?

Our ‘Remote Work Productivity Survey’ helped us connect with telecommuters to learn more about how they spend their time, collaborate, and stay productive. Ultimately, we learned that, through remote workers’ own accounts, telework life isn’t unproductive; in fact, it’s quite the opposite.

    1. Remote Work History<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Remote work history was the subject of our “Remote Work Productivity Survey” qualifying question. In total, 737<\/strong> respondents successfully completed our survey. Among those respondents, 596 <\/strong>individuals were identified as our target sample audience based on their answers to our remote work history question. This question asked workers about whether they had ever worked from home at any point in their work histories. Looking ahead, survey results for sections two through four are answers from the 596 respondents who reported at least some remote work experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This is what we discovered about the level of access to remote work professionals in 2023 have had in their careers so far.<\/p>\n\n\n
