This reads like marketing.
The problem with measuring remote work productivity is that you have to pick some set of metrics. We have always known that knowledge transfer is more difficult and just happens less with remote workers.
If you have a team of ten experts, each capable of independently focusing and being productive, you can easily see an uptick in “top-line” productivity metrics when you send them home and they are not constantly interrupted by meetings and office chatter.
The new member of your team is going to go through hell to ramp up, though.
