Recent research from Tracking Happiness has revealed that the ability to work remotely can increase employee happiness by up to 20%. The study was based on survey data from 12,455 respondents worldwide.
The data shows that those who work remotely full-time reported an average work happiness rating of 7.04 on a 1-10 scale, while those who come into the office 100% of the time averaged 5.9. Additionally, reducing a person's ability to work remotely appears to have a negative impact on their happiness.
Millennials were found to benefit the most from working remotely, with the highest increase in happiness. Interestingly, research showed that happiness ratings decreased significantly for workers with a commute time of over 60 minutes.
