my company has gone fully remote; we save millions alone on rent(we're in nyc) which we've passed on to the employees that is on top of the money\time the average employee saves by not having to commute in nyc. More so we track metrics that show we're way more productive working from home
This is true, a lot of businesses are going to a more mobile work environment.
My buddy works for Dell and said that the executive leadership has already stated that they will be reducing their office space by 50% across the board. People can work from home full time or come in 2-3 days a week on a rotation. If they come into the office they will have a shared desk policy so each person doesn't need a dedicated work station.
I think it's great, for the most part i believe most businesses that are office based will feel more comfortable letting people work from home.
The Owner of the company i work for was against letting people work from home at first, but since everyone has gotten their work done he's letting people work from home permanently if they want to.
I'm one of 5 people who still goes to the office. Mainly because i have less distractions and it's only a few miles away.
Most people work more hours from home. You factor in travel time, dedicated lunch time and proximity to their computer, people will work more hours each day.
