Opus Virtual Offices, a leader in the alternative workspace industry, has compiled data from multiple studies which illustrate the undeniable benefits companies gain by employing a remote workforce. This includes increased employee productivity, increased employee retention, overall increased company productivity and increased profits. Opus points to a key 2012 study from the Stanford School of Business which showed individual worker productivity out of the office increased by 13 percent. Attrition rates plummeted by more than 50 percent. In fact, overall company productivity typically grows by 20-30 percent when using remote workers. This is thanks to the huge overhead savings in office space expenses. Improved employee performance and reduced turnover was found as well. In short, remote work works.

An in-depth 2014 survey from Dell and Intel reveals that 52 percent of employees believe that people working from home are more productive, than those in an office. Of employees actually working from home, 86 percent feel they are more or equally productive as in an office. Only 14 percent saying they feel less productive. Amid all the benefits, however, even businesses with a solid remote work system in place find they benefit greatly from having face-to-face meetings on a semi-regular basis.
