Recent events have driven many businesses to explore the option of home working fully. According to the polls, 79% of homeworkers find that this improves their commitment; 75% of employers say they found the same. Furthermore, efficiency and productivity were both seen to improve by 88% of employees and 71% of employers.<\/p>\n

Why does home working produce such an excellent level of engagement? Here we shall go through some of the reasons.<\/p>\n

More Time, Less Travel<\/u><\/strong><\/h6>\n

Homeworking often reduces travelling time, and the time that gets saved is a chief motivator for up to 46% of employees. As travelling is tiring, many employees find home working also gives them more energy for concentrating on their tasks.<\/p>\n

A Peaceful Space<\/u><\/strong><\/h6>\n

When working from home, employees are less likely to be interrupted. Remote working noticeably reduces the number of unneeded telephone conversations and emails you would get on a typical working day. Being able to work in peace – especially if children are in school or daycare – definitely improves productivity and efficiency.<\/p>\n

More Autonomy<\/u><\/strong><\/h6>\n

For 88% of employees, but also 86% of employers, remote working encourages autonomy. This feeling of freedom undoubtedly increases working commitment and well-being. When an employee feels more autonomous, the more invested and productive they are, benefiting from the flexible work environment.<\/p>\n

Better Well-being<\/u><\/strong><\/h6>\n

Working from home and saving on travelling time can provide a great sense of well-being. For the vast majority of remote workers (an impressive 89%) working from home leads to a better work\/life balance.<\/p>\n

More Control\u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/h6>\n

According to science, the ability to choose and change your home working environment can give you a meaningful sense of control. The neuroscientist, Dr Ga\u00ebtan de Lavill\u00e9on, says that this is: \u201cassociated with greater job satisfaction in general. The sense of control corresponds to being able to influence, modify or transform one\u2019s environment\u201d.<\/p>\n

Being able to choose your working environment to suit your needs and inclinations gives you much better job satisfaction.<\/p>\n
