3. My own experience with one of my top clients is instructive here. I’ve been working with a new client who is looking to retain me under a long-term contract for 2-3 years. I'm curious to hear more from other employers. The work from home arrangement is better for employees, obviously.
I'll like to see more hard data on this. Not anecdotal stories.
I think there are too many variables to get hard data on it. Some companies that track things closely with have hard data on work hours, but productivity is measured differently across different industries. That’s why these discussions tend to be dominated by anecdotal stories instead of hard data.
One aspect is on-site work that gets a lot of attention (and rightfully so) is the negative impact of remote work on younger staff. I am sure these workers are better off being under regime supervision and mentoring, but even this doesn’t have any hard data that I’m aware of.
