[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When employees don’t have to commute, they work.

A new report by the National Bureau of Economic Research found that, of the average 72 minutes saved by not commuting each day, employees dedicated:
 
🧑‍💻 40% to primary and secondary job tasks
🏝 34% to leisure
🤝 11% to caregiving

Couple this with the fact that cutting out a commute makes disruptions like traffic and train delays irrelevant — and that's a massive boost to productivity.

And, more importantly, employees are better rested and more connected with their loved ones.

So much common sense flying over the head of dinosaur managers stuck in the 20th century:

This is what employees say… [/quote]

As well as the NBER paper.[/quote]

As a manager, I certainly love the days I don’t need to commute. I save 2 hours of commuting time, can sleep in, can see my kids in the morning, can cook dinner at a reasonable time, don’t have to pay for parking, etc.

But I also know that some staff are less productive and it takes time to paper trail them out.

If I can get work out of you while your kids are at school for 6 hours and you are mostly available for meetings/calls when they are necessary between 4 and 6, then that’s fine.

It’s those who don’t respond to calls or emails during core hours and take forever to get anything done that prompt concern…along with those who are passively reacting to asks rather than proactively moving the work forward. [/quote]
