4 Tools That Improve Productivity for Property Managers Working Remotely

A primary concern regarding the increase in remote work is how to create and maintain a steady level of productivity in an uncontrolled environment.

Studies show that 77% of employees feel more productive working from home, but only 30% of people actually accomplished more work in less time. Which means that the illusion of increased productivity is the result employees are working more hours to accommodate to a seemingly unsatisfactory level of productivity.

Glenn Dutcher, an assistant professor at Ohio University who studies the effects of telecommuting, told CNBC “the novelty of telecommuting might ‘wear off after a while,’ and you might find that your productivity wanes.” Studies confirm that 24% of people working from home are willing to work extra hours to accomplish more and achieve that level of productivity.
