The Top Reasons For Working Remotely
18 September 2020
According to the OWLLabs survey findings they are:
- better work-life balance (91%),
- increased productivity/better focus (79%),
- less stress (78%), and avoiding a commute (78%).
(this makes sense, because 30% of respondents who don’t work remotely but want to in the future have a commute of 30 minutes or more each way.) These results represent a shift toward greater interest in work-life balanc compared to the same report from the previous year, where increased productivity/better focus and less stress topped the list.
