The office is a ghost town on Thursdays… literally. As a part of a good worklife balance, we allow our employees to have work from home days. Teleworking has been shown to increase employee morale, productivity and overall happiness.

Employees who have the ability to work from home are 48% more likely to rate their job a “10” on the happiness scale, with 10 being the highest. Also, working from home can be shown to reduce stress by eliminating your commute, reducing worklife conflicts and creating a relaxing workplace. According to a study conducted by PGI, 82% of telecommuters reported lower stress levels.
