Since working from home (WFH) has become more permanent for many employees, we thought we would share the results of a Wall Street Journal survey asking people for the best and worst parts of working from home.

The Best The Worst
Not having to commute to/from an office:  100% The isolation:  41%
Spending more time with my family:  90% Having to spend more time with my family:  75%
Not being interrupted while working:  41% The proximity of bad habits (Netflix, food, bed):  36%
Working at/with my own pace/schedule:  27% Physical irritations (noise, bad lighting, limited space):  29%
Ability to care for child/parent/relative/friend:  9% Lack of structure:  7%
Ability to escape coworkers/office gossip/politics:  7% Management assuming that you are not working:  3%  

Have you taken the time to ask your employees for their best and worst practices about working from home?
