Alleged drop in worker productivity

There have been conflicting data on the correlation between remote work and productivity. Some studies have found that remote work increases worker productivity^[105] and leads to higher supervisor ratings of performance and higher performance appraisals.^[36] However, another study found that professional isolation in remote workers led to a decrease in job performance, especially for those who spent more time remote working and engaged in fewer face-to-face interactions.^[49] Thus, similar to job attitudes, the amount of time spent remote working may also influence the relationship between remote work and job performance.

There may be a drop in remote worker productivity, which could be due to inadequate office setup.^[106]

However, surveys found that over two-thirds of employers reported increased productivity among remote workers.

Traditional line managers are accustomed to managing by observation and not necessarily by results. This causes a serious obstacle in organizations attempting to adopt remote work. Liability and workers' compensation can become serious issues as well.^[107]

A 2008 study found that more time spent remote working decreased the perception of productivity of the remote worker by management.^[49]

Jealousy in the workplace[edit]

Workers who do not have remote work privileges may be jealous of those who do, leading to workplace controversies.^[108]

Taxation complexity[edit]

Working remotely in a different jurisdiction than the employer can have tax implications that are not fully understood by remote workers.^[109][110]

Health impacts due to increased hours working[edit]

According to a 2021 report by the World Health Organization and the International Labour Organization, remote work could potentially increase health loss among workers if it increases working time to over 55 hours per week.^[111]

Increased working hours include compromised health, well-being, and sleep as a consequence of disruption of the daily life routine, anxiety, worry, isolation, greater family and work stress, and excessive screen time^[119].
