And a new research is delving into the pros
and cons of remote work from the employers' perspective.
The study is by a group of researchers from the US. And in China,
they studied job ads offering remote work.
They found companies that advertise this option later
experienced reduced labor productivity and lower stock returns.
Researchers found that offering remote work options during the hiring process
could be seen by employees as a commitment to remote work.
The study also found that while employee satisfaction levels
are higher for companies offering remote work options,
employees who were attracted by that may be reluctant
to return to the office in the long run.
