People Get More Work Done When Not at Work

It is certainly worth taking note that in a recent survey conducted by Microsoft, which interviewed 3,600 employees in 36 US cities, 60 percent of employees stated they were more productive and efficient when working remotely. More than half of employees surveyed said they were more productive without the distractions of the workplace like, “drive bys”, commute time and other unscheduled workplace distractions. The study stated that less than half of all companies (41 percent) support remote work policies. The question I have is – is working remotely, away from the office, the answer? Might it be a better option to create a workplace in which work can be done at work. The study is posted on the Microsoft PressPass site.
