Follow on Google News | Home Office: Good or Bad for Productivity?By: Anovisions July 17, 2013 Burlington, VT– Back in February of this year we learned that Yahoo was ending its teleworking policy and returning to the classic culture of centralized office-based work. NPR reported how Yahoo’ Anovisions of Burlington, Vermont provides consulting, statistical analysis and research paper editing services and is 100% built around a culture of remote working. So it appears the trend is spreading; the question is, why? The verdict is still out on whether home-based work is really as efficient as traditional office based work. A Citrix survey from 2012 revealed that, on the face of it, home office workers do not spend all their time their time “working.” Researchers pointed out that 43% of workers said they’ve watched TV or a movie while working, 35% have done household chores, and 20% admitted to cooking dinner while on the home office clock. Looking at those numbers, one might assume that people aren’t productive when working from home.

In his TED talk “Why work doesn’ I’ve been asking people this question for about 10 years – I ask them, “Where do you go when you really need to get something done?” Fried went on to explain his theory about work cycles: how, if they are interrupted, as with a sleep cycle, you lose the benefit of the entire cycle. He also explained that the office is like a “Cuisinart” and once you enter it, your day is shredded, preventing you from entering a true work cycle, thus killing productivity and creative problem solving. So if you assume that both home office and at the traditional office are fraught with distractions and if you subscribe to Fried’ Clearly manufacturers need people on the production floor, and grocery stores need people to stock the shelves.
