Remote workers are more productive and face less interruptions than their office-only co-workers

A recent report by ActivTrak highlights the impact of work location on productivity, revealing that remote-first companies yield higher productivity and less interruption than those using hybrid or office-first models. The survey, which analyzed responses from 958 companies, showed that employees in the financial sector worked 30 more productive minutes daily, while healthcare workers logged an additional 36 minutes but faced high burnout risks. Most companies (55%) prefer the remote-first model, while hybrid and office-first models have lower adoption, indicating a shift toward remote work for improved efficiency.

Remote-first companies show higher productivity, fewer interruptions, and are favored by employees, highlighting the importance of work location in driving efficiency and engagement.

The healthcare industry experiences increased productivity but also suffers from high burnout rates, demonstrating the need for balance between workload and employee well-being.
