The aim of the study was to evaluate the impact of Hurricane Harvey on workplace productivity among displaced employees.
The average worker can save almost $5,000 a year just by not driving into the office anymore.Amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, new research suggests that remote work may not negatively affect productivity.
"We conducted an interrupted time series analysis to investigate the impact of Hurricane Harvey on employee computer use during and after a seven-month displacement period from the physical workplace," the study authors wrote of their objective. While researchers found there was no change in total computer use in response to the hurricane, active computer use significantly declined for a transient period.
Overall, the findings suggest that although there may be an immediate impact of displacement during natural disasters and other events, given the availability of alternative working conditions, productivity may return to baseline levels relatively quickly.
