Remote work is good for health and morale, science says

This is one of the big disruptions brought about by the Covid crisis: remote work. Or how we rethink our relationship with professionals and the way we work. If distance learning has now become part of our daily lives, even if that means trumpeting it as a great perk to attract potential employees, its benefits in terms of productivity often remain undervalued. A new study conducted by the International Workplace and Relocation Group Watchman Sunday, June 16, he intends to set the record straight.

Proven effects on employee well-being and productivity

This survey was conducted on 1,026 UK employees and is conclusive. The vast majority of employees who use this hybrid work model feel less tired and stressed. They are also more productive and report greater satisfaction with their work.

Reduced travel time, better nutrition, and better work-life balance: these are some of the benefits of remote work mentioned by participants. 86% of them, for example, say that time saved traveling during remote work days has led to improved work-life balance. 68% say they enjoy better quality sleep, 54% take the opportunity to exercise more, and 58% to cook more balanced meals. 68% of participants also claim that they enjoy better health thanks to remote work. For three-quarters of those surveyed, returning to full face-to-face education would harm their well-being.

In addition to the positive effects on their well-being, 74% of employees who benefit from remote work believe that they are more productive, and 76% of them feel more motivated.
