The work-from-home (WFH) system can offer various benefits to workers.

This is evident from a survey by WFH Research, a research institute formed by a joint team of researchers from the University of Chicago, the Instituto Tecnológico Autónomo de México, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Stanford University.

WFH Research surveyed around 20,700 workers spread across 34 countries in April-May 2023. All of these respondents had previously worked with the WFH system.

Most, or 59.65%, rated the main benefit of WFH as not having to commute or travel to the office every day.

Then, 43.84% rated WFH as being able to save them on gas costs and lunch expenses.

There are also those who feel that WFH gives them flexible working hours (41.93%), no need to spend time getting ready for work (38%), and personal quiet time (35.27%).

WFH also allows some respondents to spend more time with family and friends (28.55%), and reduce meetings (9.62%).
