To test the viability of a hybrid office/working from home setup, travel agent Trip.com divided 1,612 of its employees randomly into two groups, with one group required to work in the office all week, and the other able to work from home two days a week over a six month period.
At the end of the study, the researchers say quit rates reduced by a third in the hybrid working group, and hybrid workers had higher job satisfaction.
Monitoring the productivity of the employees over two years, the researchers say there were no differences in performance grades or promotions and managers surveyed were more likely to have positive views about working from home than they were at the beginning of the study.
