These Inc 5000 Companies Let Employees Work From Home. Here's Why and How It Works&#8230

Commuting to work 1 hour. Parking the car 15 minutes. Running into Kathy in the hallway and chatting about her weekend 10 minutes. Attending Charlie’s birthday party and eating some cake 30 minutes. Oh, and it’s Monday. Time for that team meeting over lunch.


So goes the life of an in-office employee. Forget an eight hour work day. It's more like four. And, because employees don't get much done during the day, they need to work later to finish things up. This all adds up to time away from home, hobbies, and health.


Fortunately, there’s an easier and more streamlined system: remote work. While it doesn't work for every type of business, it does for some of the fastest growing companies in the United States.
