More of us are now awakening to the fact that workplaces are not quite the places of productivity that we hoped them to be. But that they are actually rife with distraction. Not to mention the painful hours of commuting tacked onto long days at the office.
All this can be avoided with a flexible work arrangement, and that's an option that many are seeking nowadays.
According to a recent FlexJobs survey on remote work, 66% of professionals believed that they would be more productive if they worked remotely - instead of at a traditional office. The reasons cited in favor of remote work? 76% wanted "fewer interruptions from colleagues and fewer distractions," 70% sought to "reduce stress from commuting," and 69% preferred to avoid "office politics."
