Why working remote can improve employee productivity
31 October 2017
One of the most remarkable studies done to measure telecommuters’ performance was conducted by Stanford University. Led by Professor Nicholas Bloom, a team of scholars performed a Work From Home (WFH) experiment in 2012-2013 at CTrip, a NASDAQ-listed Chinese travel agency. The 9-month long study showed a “13 percent increase in the remote workers’ productivity with more time per shift or fewer sick leaves and breaks.”
