For several years studies have shown that a work/life balance will be the key to employee retention. Offering a work from home option to employees has been proven to increase productivity and lower employer costs. Employers that offer a work from home option for employees hold the lowest employee turnover rates hands down. BOTTOM LINE: If an organization is comprised of happy employees your organizations results will follow.
Actually, after working from home full-time for about 3 years (I LOVED my job) for my company as well as for website like upwork.com and researchpaperwritings.net/, I recently returned to the office (new employer, not my choice). The adjustment has been tough--the lack of privacy, losing 3 hours a day for dressing up and commuting (which I dedicated to charity work previously), missing my dogs during the day who always slept in my office. I do not feel engaged with my new employer even though it has ranked in the Fortune 100 as a best company to work for during the last 17 years. I miss the flexibility and the quiet at home--listening to numerous conversations makes my head spin and it is difficult to become absorbed in projects. The idea of working at home 3-4 days a week sounds great instead of full-time. Just the right amount of balance. I have an old-time manager but I may show him this article. Our company has about 1000 at-home workers already so they know how to do it.
