Employees working from home enjoy a certain level of comfort. Besides working from a place they enjoy, they don't have to travel during peak hours and have more time for themselves. This means less absenteeism, a better work-life balance and more fulfilled employees. Contrary to popular belief, teleworking does not negatively affect productivity. We can even observe the opposite phenomenon because employees are not distracted by their colleagues or by the many phone calls. Being a company that accepts teleworking is even an argument when hiring and allows you to increase its workforce without changing the capacity of its premises.
