When Covid-19 forced businesses across the world to close their doors, many people were reluctant to start working from home. However, as the time at home stretched on it became clear that many people preferred it. U.S. Career Institute decided to look at extensive surveys to create several infographics about the benefits of remote work according to the workers.
Workers listed these as the top benefits:
- No commute
- Save money on gas and lunch
- Schedule flexibility
- Quicker prep for the workday
- Quiet time when needed
- More time for family and friends
Fewer meetings more than half the workers listed the lack of commute as the biggest benefit to working from home. Overall though, workers listed a lot of health benefits too. Enough to warrant a second infographic:
- Less burnout
- Healthier food choices
- Less anxiety and depression
- Better mental health
- Better sleep
- Better physical health
- Improved relationships
