The abrupt shift to working from home caught a lot of employers and employees off-guard, but after weeks of practice, employees now say they feel right at home in the home office. In its recent COVID-19 Pandemic Pulse Survey, Quantum Workplace asked more than 40,000 respondents how working from home was going.
Despite the fact that some 40% of respondents said they had never worked remotely, just 4% say the switch has had a major impact on their daily performance. Overall, they feel they're more productive with 30% saying they're accomplishing more in less time, and 23% willing to work longer hours to finish their work.
