The survey shows that working at home has saved about $281 per person per month in the United States, and the workplace happiness index has risen to 73, which has remained at 71 until working at home. A twitter spokesman recently said: "we can confirm that Twitter continues to allow long-term work at home as shared in 2020, and has no plans to change this policy."
Although Google, facebook/meta, Microsoft and Apple Have begun to call back telecommuting personnel to headquarters, but twitter seems to have been maintaining a stable attitude towards home office. Affected by the epidemic, office workers all over the world have started telecommuting. In the United States, for example, the number of employees who regularly work from home has increased by 115% over the past year. With this increase, the total number of teleworkers in the United States has reached 3.9 million, accounting for 2.8% of the total number of office workers. According to the survey of relevant institutions, by 2024, the number of global teleworkers will reach 30%, about 600million.
Home office makes workplace happiness index rise
The Italian physicist cesarmarketti described a phenomenon called "marceti constant ”Idea: the commuting time that people are willing to accept is about half an hour. Long commutes and crowded public transport are likely to make employees exhausted before they arrive at the company. Home office can save the time of preparing for going out and taking the bus, and can obtain an additional 11 days of time and save more than $4000 in transportation expenses every year.
At the same time, although home office workers will bear more workload, they can better balance work and life, and have a more positive attitude towards work than office workers. 52% of home office workers said they seldom ask for leave, while 23% of home office workers are mentally prepared to extend their working hours, proving that home office workers are more efficient. The results of the questionnaire show that 38% of the respondents believe that they are happier now than before the epidemic, and 19% of the respondents hope that they can always work from home. Nearly half (48%) of the respondents were working at home, and the workplace happiness index rose to 73, which remained at 71 until they worked at home.
Home office saves $281 per capita
As the number of people working at home continues to rise, couponbirds Com launched the latest research and found that home office can also save money? 34% of the respondents worked at home five days a week, and 50% worked at home at least one day a week. Work at home may not be able to effectively communicate with colleagues, resulting in slower work efficiency, greater difficulty in collaboration, and may also lead to burnout. However, because work at home can reduce or even completely eliminate any transportation and commuting costs, home workers can enjoy more disposable income. The benefits of telecommuting include not having to commute, except for the flexibility of working hours, and the study also found that working from home is a good opportunity to save money.
survey data It shows that the average monthly savings of home office employees in the United States exceed US $11billion, and the average person saves about US $281 per month. This savings is a quite surprising figure for most American families, because if they work in a company, the money will be consumed invisibly. Now, if you save the saved expenses, you can use them to repay the mortgage, invest in the children's education or go on vacation with the whole family. Therefore, nearly 60% of the respondents said they prefer the home office mode. Through further analysis of these data, according to the division of States, the state with the largest average monthly savings in the United States is California, which is about $1.5 billion.
The hidden cost of home office can not be ignored
While saving money, the extra money spent on office equipment also makes some employees sigh that the hidden cost of home office is too high. Since employees started working from home, they have spent $181 on home office setup. More than 35% of the people bought a new laptop, followed by headphones (30%). Considering the need to regularly attend zoom meetings, 12% bought a comfortable new chair, 7.5% had a decent desk, 8% had reserved appropriate office supplies, and 7% even wanted to buy a printer for themselves.
The survey data prove that the home office strongly supported by Twitter has more advantages than disadvantages. No wonder it is reluctant to return to the office at the stage of the epidemic slowdown.
At the 343rd press conference on the prevention and control of novel coronavirus pneumonia in Beijing held on May 23, xuhejian, spokesman of the Beijing municipal government, said that in order to better implement the epidemic prevention and control requirements, strict home office requirements and standardized home office conditions will become two important indicators. Whether the home-based telecommuting model brought about by the COVID-19 will become normal in China and even the world may still be unknown. But the only thing we can be sure of is that the COVID-19 has made us aware of the possibility of working at home - and carefully consider its significance to the cost and balance of work and life. To some extent, working at home makes it possible to save money and work, which is also the beginning of a new era.
