Does Working From Home Improve Mental Health?

By now, most of us probably could have guessed it, but the statistics are in—mental health improves when you work from home.

In a recent report by Prodoscore (an employee visibility and productivity intelligence software provider), 36.7% of those surveyed say their mental health has been impacted positively by work from home. In fact, 82% of all work from home workers are happier vs. working in the office.

Why, exactly? For starters:

-they can take care of household chores

-listen to podcasts or music while working

-go for impromptu walks

-take a quick nap

-or enjoy a mid-day workout

Add to that the 43% who report their physical health improving, too and I’d say you have a case for mental health success.

But really, this is just balance. As a recruiter, I know how important that is to achieve, and maintain. If you’re looking to make a change, I’m here to help you through it. Just drop me a note or give me a shout.
