Home Office Study - What Does Science Say?

The home office is all the rage right now. Since Corona, more people are working from home. Science is also looking at the issue to find out what effects the home office has on society. The results show that working from home definitely has the potential to become established in the long term.

What are the results of studies on home office?

A recent study commissioned by the Federal Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs (BMAS) has brought to light interesting facts about the home office:

• Home office integration: many companies have already enabled home office before the Corona crisis, which is why the switch to permanent home work was easy.
• No standard: However, the study also shows that the home office is not yet used in all industries. Factors such as qualification and specific activity play a supporting role in this regard.
• Agreements: That this topic is not yet enshrined in law, the home office agreements between employees and employers vary from a verbal permission to fixed home office contracts.
• Satisfaction: More time at home, no commuting and higher productivity - the satisfaction of employees usually increases significantly in the home office.

Home-Office Studie: Organisation macht den Unterschied

Das BMAS bemerkte zudem, dass gute Rahmenbedienungen entscheidend für eine effektive Integration des Home-Office sind. Viele Unternehmen ermöglichen seit Jahren das Arbeiten von zu Hause, während andere erst jetzt über die einfachere Nutzung des Home-Office nachdenken.
