The main motivators tend to be the increased flexibility and autonomy that comes with working from home, as well as the potential for increased productivity and efficiency when there are no distractions from the office. Additionally, having the ability to work remotely can help to reduce stress levels, as employees don’t have to worry about commuting or dealing with distractions in the workplace. For those who are parents, the ability to work from home can provide more time to spend with family, which can be a major source of motivation.
