(L-R)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Since 2009, the number of people who work from home in the USA has risen by 159%, due to both the pandemic and technology&#8217;s rapid advancement. Remote work looks like it is here to stay. Here&#8217;s why:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Studies indicate that working from home has many benefits. According to a survey from Global Workplace Analytics, 97% of office workers in the U.S. have worked from home, at least partially, during the pandemic. Of that 97%, 67% had never worked from home regularly before. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>73% said they are very successful working from home and that they perform as well as they do in the office. 70% of managers agree, reporting equal or improved performance from their employees. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, there is a consensus that collaboration is more efficient in person. Moving forward, workers say that their ideal work week would include an average of 2.5 days remote. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The full results from this fascinating survey can be found <a href=\"https:\/\/globalworkplaceanalytics.com\/global-work-from-home-experience-survey\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" title=\"here\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At Smoller Insurance Agency, we value the flexibility, freedom, and comfort our hybrid model offers. And don&#8217;t worry &#8212; we guarantee our service is still just as excellent. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Did you know that many of Smoller Insurance&#8217;s team members work partially or entirely from home?
