will never be as effective as working in an office

Remote work surge may enhance job satisfaction by offering flexibility but productivity varies due to diverse home environments.

It depends on the person. For some the social interaction at their job is important and actually helps them be more productive. For others, like myself, I can actually accomplish more when I don't have the distractions of having others around me (blabbering)

Stress levels are certainly important, but working remotely will never be as effective as working in an office. Without constant supervision, employees will work less and perform worse

By not having to commute, employees can sleep longer hours and experience less stress, which contributes to better productivity. Less stress: Remote workers experience less stress. They experience 1.5x less work-related stress and anxiety than office workers.
