What is the relationship between remote work and mental health?Īccording to a survey conducted by FlexJobs among 800 US employees, 48% of remote workers report their work-life balance as very good or excellent, compared to only 36% of employees without flexible work possibilities choosing that option. As part of a new normal, the world is steadily increasing adoption of remote work, with many tech giants already giving their employees an option to work remotely indefinitely.
