There’s not a definitive answer on where telecommuting works best, and where it doesn’t. Anyone working at home knows that perils lurk around every corner: a sink full of dirty dishes, insistent pets, interrupting children, and the lure of distractions are everywhere. But--in different ways--these are plentiful at work too. Engineering your environment at home can eliminate many of these perils. At least one Stanford study in China found working from home increased performance by 13%, and cut attrition by 50%.
