No. An evidence-based study denies this.
The current debate about remote work and return-to-office policies is gathering pace. But the facts speak for themselves: home office and remote work are not bad for productivity per se. A recent meta-analysis based on 110 independent samples of 45,288 people offers new insights into this.
Central results of the meta-analysis:
➡️ Overall, the positive effects outweigh the negative effects of a few days of Remote Work Intensity per week.
➡️ The effects include attitudes such as higher satisfaction, higher commitment, a more pronounced experience of autonomy, higher performance and a lower intention to quit.
➡️ Social isolation can be a problem with higher remote work intensity, but the positive effects outweigh the negative ones.
✅Conclusion:
It is less about the ‘whether’ and more about the ‘how’ of implementation. The current ‘back to office’ discussions often ignore evidence-based management. And yet, especially now in times of crisis and recession. We absolutely need precisely the working environment and forms of work that lead to greater productivity and performance. 🤔
