An Australian study finds that working from home increased productivity for two-thirds of respondents and was particularly beneficial for working mothers.
CQUniversity researcher Linda Colley with Dr Sue Williamson found that women adapted to the new circumstances easier than men and that men were less likely to reach out for help when working from home.
Associate Professor Colley says a higher number of men struggled in “the relational aspects of their job such as networking, mentoring others, and maintaining professional networks.”
