  Productivity skyrocketed when we implemented work from home. Employee retention also improved. Keeping it was a no brainer.

  How else will they justify spending money on these huge office buildings (monuments to capitalists) to their investors if you aren’t there pretending to be busy?

  It seems like you’re discussing various studies and opinions on remote work productivity, highlighting both positive and critical perspectives. If you’re looking for tools or strategies that can support increased productivity in a remote or hybrid work environment, one effective solution is time tracking and management software.

  Tools like timechamp.io can help employees and teams:

  1. Track Time Effectively: By monitoring how time is spent throughout the workday, employees can better understand their productivity patterns and optimize their workflows.

  2. Set Goals and Priorities: Establishing clear goals and priorities helps employees stay focused and ensures they are working on tasks that contribute directly to their objectives.

  3. Manage Breaks and Work-Life Balance: Encouraging regular breaks and managing work-life balance is crucial for sustaining productivity over the long term. TimeChamp can help by scheduling breaks and ensuring employees are not overworking.

  4. Enhance Communication: While remote work can pose challenges in communication, tools integrated with collaboration features can facilitate effective team communication, reducing misunderstandings and enhancing productivity.

  5. Analyze Productivity Trends: By analyzing data and trends over time, managers can identify bottlenecks, inefficiencies, and areas for improvement, ultimately boosting overall productivity.

  These tools support remote and hybrid work models by providing insights into time management, goal setting, and communication, fostering a productive work environment regardless of location.

  I feel like the only people who read Forbes and take it at face value have never worked a day in their lives.

  I find this really hard to believe. I like going in to work, but I don’t work in a standard office (engineer on industrial site). If I were to be working in an office all day though, no way would I prefer that to home.

  Funny that I’ve seen tons of research saying the opposite. Enough to say, at a minimum, that the verdict is still very much out on the link between productivity and remote work. But I only see the negative ones being published now, whereas during COVID I only saw the positive ones.

  Do these folks factor in people who have to waste 1 hour in commuting to and from the office? Or do they pay for that as well?

  Hot take: they might be right that going back to the office makes folks more productive, but the quiet quitting phenomenon could be counteracting that effect

    It’s a net loss in productivity of the company, then. Unless having less people to pay to offsets that the other way, which I sincerely doubt

  In my personal experience. No it does not reduce productivity.

  Haha no it doesn’t :) :)

  The whole "working from home reduces productivity" is non-sense simply because companies can simply put poor performers on a performance improvement plan and if they don't improve then fire them. But they're not doing that in droves, so therefore, it's just not true.

  But people are definitely less productive working from home

  How so? I personally think it's a very personal matter. I am far more productive working from home, mostly because I don't get distracted by colleagues who spend hours bantering only to then stay in the company until later to compensate for the banter - I'd rather get my work done so I can end my day on time and go home do the fun stuff. But I do have colleagues who say they get distracted easily when working at home and they'd rather work at the office.

  Overall though, my company used to be very against working from home, but after the period of mandatory work from home, management admitted overall productivity had increased. They still insist people should come to the office every now and then to maintain the "friendly" environment the company is supposed to have, though, which is fair I guess.
