Most companies are still treating remote work like a temporary fix.

The data tells a different story.

Buffer’s State of Remote Work research reveals that 90% of remote employees report being as productive or MORE productive than the previous year. But here’s what most managers miss: productivity isn’t the real unlock.

The real story is engagement.

58% of remote workers report feeling engaged with their work—significantly higher than pre-pandemic office engagement rates. Why? Three factors drive the difference:

1. Flexible scheduling (67% cite this as top benefit)
Not just “work from home”—the ability to structure your day around peak performance hours. Deep work at 6am? Client calls after kids’ bedtime? Remote work makes it possible.

2. Time saved on commuting (59% value this)
Average commute: 54 minutes daily. That’s 225 hours per year returned to your life. Top performers reinvest that time into either work output or genuine rest.

3. Location independence (62% prioritize this)
Work from a ski town in winter, beach town in summer, or stay near aging parents. The talent war will be won by companies that embrace this.

The challenges are real: 23% struggle with loneliness, and productivity dipped slightly in 2024 (59% vs 61% in 2023) due to screen fatigue and notification overload.

But here’s the trend that matters: 98% of remote workers would work remotely for the rest of their careers.

The companies still forcing RTO aren’t fighting remote work. They’re fighting the future of work itself.
