Study of 27 countries finds the average daily time savings for remote work is 72 min per person. Workers allocate 40% of the saved time to their jobs, 11% to caregiving, and 34% to leisure.

Working from home saves employees 2 hours a week in commute time, and they’re spending it in ways CEOs don’t expect

CEOs like Elon Musk and James Gorman say remote workers are less productive. But new research from the NBER indicates otherwise.

@amydiehl How does 72 minutes x 5 days work out to 2 hours a week???

@michaelgemar @amydiehl It's not 5 days a week. They're averaging across all workers, who had something like 1.7 remote work days per week.

@aftd @amydiehl Ah, so fully-remote workers could save 6 hours a week of commuting. That seems like such a no-brainer (for those who have jobs that can be done remotely).

I’m fully WFH apart from a monthly staff meeting, and it’s fantastic.
