Scientists have been studying remote work for four years and have reached a very clear conclusion: “Working from home makes us happier.”
▪️The pandemic acted as an accelerator, forcing millions into telework almost overnight. What many considered a temporary adjustment soon turned into a lifestyle change. This research, unique because it began before COVID-19, followed Australian workers across four years, offering an unusually comprehensive view of telework’s long-term effects.
One of the most immediate effects of working from home was better sleep. On average, remote workers gained an extra 30 minutes of rest per night. Considering that Australians used to spend around 4.5 hours a week commuting, this isn’t surprising. Long commutes have long been linked to poor mental health and higher stress levels. By eliminating or reducing these daily journeys, employees experienced more energy, less fatigue, and greater peace of mind.
