The remote work employment model started from an idea of motivating the employees towards higher productivity levels by granting them many conveniences otherwise unavailable in their office spaces. This model proved to be very successful, with many industries and branches putting in great efforts to embrace it fully.

Remote work, as previously mentioned, gives the people full flexibility with time management, amount of work input, work hours, etc. If your job starts early in the morning at a distant office, with remote working, you’re cutting off the time needed for transport while saving money for the gas. 

As the day progresses, you choose what time of the day is the most productive for you to work, when you want to have a lunch, what part of the day you want to commit to yourself and your loved ones, etc. Around 99% of surveyed Americans employed in all branches stated they want to work this way for the rest of their professional careers.

Several industries are leaders in converting their work from the 9-to-5 model to remote work. Some of these industries and branches include information technologies (IT), transport and freight forwarding management, media, design, finance, and legislation, with many more joining every year. With this many people leaving office spaces, employers cut office costs enormously.

Most importantly, this change in the working model vastly raised productivity levels in workers. As the employees start spending more time with their loved ones and taking care of themselves, the surveyed ones reported up to 82% less stress and anxiety posterior to their office days, with a better sleeping, eating, and exercising schedule, improving their overall wellness and health.
