Forbes:
Benefits of a lenient work-from-home policy
6 October 2017
When it comes to debating a work-from-home policy, there are two schools of thought on the subject. While one group believes employees will abuse the system and productivity will be lost, the other believes that workers will be happier, healthier and therefore more productive during working hours. A study by Stanford economics professor Nicholas A. Bloom and Stanford graduate student James Liang suggests that when employees are given the opportunity to work from home, productivity increases and stress decreases.
