The Impact of Remote

In a story published by the Irish Times that has a headline of productivity, it is a seperate quote within the article that we would like to shine a light on.

“If you are commuting like me then you have to leave at a particular time to get the train, whereas if I’m at home I’m not in a rush to get the Luas to the train and I tend to work later.”

Impact = “In the mornings I can generally drop my four-year-old to the creche so I get to do more bonding with my family then I’m going to get more work done, so it’s good for me and for my employer.” 💚
