About 39 percent of respondents of both sexes said they wear sweats while working from home, but 12 percent of males and 7 percent of females wear nothing at all, according to a survey of 941 remote and mobile workers worldwide conducted by Insight Express and SonicWALL, a provider of integrated network security and productivity solutions. Forty-four percent of women surveyed said they showered on work-at-home days, as opposed to 30 percent of men. Seventy-six percent of the employees surveyed believe that working remotely from home is an aid to productivity and 61 percent are convinced that their managers agree with them. More than half of the survey's respondents accessed the corporate network from home on a daily basis, with 86 percent logging in remotely several times a week. |
