Is Working From Home The Answer To Stress?
If you’re feeling a little down after your post-festive season return to work, it could be more than just the January blues. A recent survey carried out by Regus has indicated that almost half of the UK workforce feel they are heading for burnout. The survey of 3,000 employees in the UK also included questions about potential solutions for stress, and it would appear that remote working is right up there.
A whopping 68% of the respondents agreed that the opportunity to work away from their main office, even occasionally, would go a long towards reducing their stress levels. Not only do they believe that a change is as good as a rest, they also think that those who are allowed to work remotely are happier overall, and are closer to achieving that elusive work-life balance. 62% of those who can work from alternative locations say they are more relaxed as a result.
If you work on a freelance basis, the survey would suggest that you are already doing well in the happiness stakes, with 53% of respondents saying they believe freelance workers to be more relaxed and less stressed. Would you agree?
