Productivity benefits from increased work hours when employees are in the office, rather than working from home.
This is due to the fact that employees spend more time working and commuting, and less time getting ready for work.
In this episode, co-host Michael Chui talks with Nicholas Bloom. Bloom is the William Eberle Professor of Economics at Stanford University and a senior fellow at the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research. He covers topics including the following:
The history of remote work
How remote work can enhance productivity
What practices make hybrid work most effective
How the views of employers and employees compare on working remotely
