THE BENEFITS OF WORKING FROM HOME

When COVID-19 forced companies all over the world to send their employees home
to work virtually, remote work had a big moment.

Yes, the rush to give employees access to all the tools they’d need to work from
home was a bit, well, sudden for many employers. But after everyone settled in,
what quickly became apparent to many office-based teams is that employees could
be productive and focused when not in the office—in many cases, even more so.
Employers everywhere began to understand that remote work really works.

Whether you’re on the hunt for a remote job or are already telecommuting, check
out this list of the advantages of working from home, along with some of the top
companies that hire for remote jobs.

 10 BENEFITS OF WORKING FROM HOME

As we’ve long known, remote work has a host of advantages for workers. We’re
listing out the best of the best benefits of working from home—some you may
already be aware of, and some that may open your eyes even more to remote work’s
impact on employers, employees, the economy, and the planet.


1. BETTER WORK-LIFE BALANCE

Many remote jobs also come with flexible schedules, which means that workers can
start and end their day as they choose, as long as their work is complete and
leads to strong outcomes. This control over your work schedule can be invaluable
when it comes to attending to the needs of your personal life.

Whether it’s dropping kids off at school, running some errands, attending an
online fitness class in the morning, or being home for a contractor, these tasks
(and more!) are all easier to balance when you work from home.


2. LESS COMMUTE STRESS

The average one-way commuting time in the U.S. is 27.1 minutes—that’s nearly an
hour each day spent getting to and from work, and it really adds up. According
to the Auto Insurance Center, commuters spend about 100 hours commuting and 41
hours stuck in traffic each year. Some “extreme” commuters face much longer
commute times of 90 minutes or more each way.

But wasting time commuting is just one of the downsides of getting to and from
work. More than 30 minutes of daily one-way commuting is associated with
increased levels of stress and anxiety, and research shows that commuting 10
miles to work each day is associated with health issues like:

 * Higher cholesterol
 * Elevated blood sugar
 * Increased risk of depression

Ditching the commute helps you support your mental and physical health. The time
savings can allow you to focus on priorities outside of work, like getting extra
sleep in the morning, spending more time with family, getting in a workout, or
eating a healthy breakfast.


3. LOCATION INDEPENDENCE

One of the considerable benefits of telecommuting is having access to a broader
range of job opportunities that aren’t limited by geographic location. This can
be especially helpful for job seekers living in rural communities and small
towns where there may not be many available local positions.

Having no set job location means that, pre-pandemic, fully remote workers could
also travel and live as digital nomads while having a meaningful career. Though
a full nomad lifestyle is currently on hold, as borders begin to open up, it’s
still a definite perk.

People who have to move frequently, such as military spouses, can also benefit
from having a remote job that can be done from anywhere, without having to start
over at the bottom of a new company with each move.

In addition, remote work is a great way to avoid high-rent and high-mortgage
areas, especially for positions (like tech) that used to require living in a
city with a high cost of living. With remote work, you no longer have to live
near a major metropolitan area to have a career you love. (See work from
anywhere jobs).


4. IMPROVED INCLUSIVITY

Remote work enables companies to embrace diversity and inclusion by hiring
people from different socioeconomic, geographic, and cultural backgrounds and
with different perspectives—which can be challenging to accomplish when
recruiting is restricted to a specific locale that not everyone wants, or can
afford, to live near.

And by hiring employees who can work from home in the communities where they
feel the most comfortable and supported, companies choose to support diversity,
community, and family.

Telecommute jobs give people who may have a hard time finding steady employment
at an onsite job, like those with disabilities or caregivers who need a flexible
schedule, the opportunity to follow their career goals without having to worry
about commuting back and forth to an office. It also gives workers the
flexibility to get to doctor’s and other healthcare appointments when needed.


5. MONEY SAVINGS

People who work from home half time can save around $4,000 per year. Gas, car
maintenance, transportation, parking fees, a professional wardrobe, lunches
bought out, and more can all be reduced or eliminated from your spending
entirely. These savings add up and put more money back into your pocket.

And the savings aren’t just for employees, either. As more and more companies
allow employees to continue working remotely post-pandemic—like Twitter, Square,
Shopify, and Facebook, to name just a few—they’ll also see significant long-term
cost savings.

According to Global Workplace Analytics, a typical company can save around
$11,000 per year for every employee who works from home at least some of the
time. In fact, FlexJobs has saved more than $5 million from remote work on
things like:

 * Overhead
 * Real estate costs
 * Transit subsidies
 * Continuity of operations

During the COVID-19 pandemic, U.S. employers are saving over $30 billion per day
by allowing employees to work from home. This major economic benefit of remote
work could continue as more companies make it a long-term solution.


6. POSITIVE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT

The 3.9 million employees who worked from home at least half time before the
pandemic reduced greenhouse gas emissions by the equivalent of taking more than
600,000 cars off the road for an entire year. A whopping 7.8 billion vehicle
miles aren’t traveled each year for those who work at least part-time from home,
3 million tons of greenhouse gases (GHG) are avoided, and oil savings reach $980
million.

And by making environmentally sound choices—like opting to use less paper and
monitoring their air conditioning, heating, and lighting—telecommuters have the
same potential impact on air quality as planting an entire forest of 91 million
trees.


7. IMPACT ON SUSTAINABILITY

Remote work supports a variety of sustainability initiatives, from economic
growth and reduced inequalities, to sustainable cities, climate change, and
responsible consumption.

One of the fastest, cheapest ways for employers and employees to reduce their
carbon footprint and affect climate change is by reducing commuter travel. In
fact, the world is already seeing markedly reduced pollution, congestion, and
traffic during the pandemic response, and being able to experience the results
firsthand may be a driver of remote work for everyone involved.


8. A CUSTOMIZABLE OFFICE

Being able to create a comfortable home office is an excellent benefit of remote
work. Whether you simply want a more ergonomic chair or you have health issues
that require specialized office equipment, you can set up your home office and
make it whatever you want.


9. INCREASED PRODUCTIVITY AND PERFORMANCE

Telecommuting usually leads to fewer interruptions, less office politics, a
quieter noise level, and less (or more efficient) meetings. Add in the lack of a
commute, and remote workers typically have more time and fewer distractions,
which leads to increased productivity—a huge benefit of working from home for
both employees and employers alike.

When done right, remote work allows employees and companies to focus on what
really matters—performance. Unfortunately, the office environment can create
“false positives” that can lead to bias and favoritism. After all, coming in
early and leaving late may “look” like more work, but actual performance is a
much better indicator of productivity.

And FlexJobs’ 2020 survey found that workers who thought they might be more
productive working from home actually were more productive when working
remotely.

Just over half of respondents (51%) said that they are more productive working
from home during the pandemic. When asked why, many cited fewer interruptions
and quiet work environments (68% for both) as part of the reason for their
increased productivity.


10. A HAPPIER, HEALTHIER WORK LIFE

Remote, flexible workers tend to be happier and more loyal employees, in part
because working from home has been shown to lower stress, provide more time for
hobbies and interests, and improve personal relationships, among other things.

In addition to personal health and well-being, coworker and manager
relationships can be more positive without the distractions and politics that
come along with an in-office job. A reported 72% of employers say remote work
has a high impact on employee retention—plainly put, employees are sticking with
their employer when they have remote work options.

Working from home can also lead to better health in a variety of ways:

 * More time for physical activity
 * The ability to eat healthier
 * Can recover from illness or surgery at home
 * Less exposure to illnesses
 * Ease of caring for a health issue or disability
 * The option to create a comfortable and ergonomic workspace.

Working remotely can give employees the time and environment needed to make
healthy choices.
