It is sad that the article shows the additional time available as productive/work time. In my experience, the workforce maintains a similar productivity while working slower number of effective work hours. This boost of productivity is explained by the benefits of the loss of stress and commute, the comfort of home, the additional family time etc. There are downsides of course, such as lack of direct contact, unavailability of an actual office, and mostly the inability to disconnect when everything happens at the same place, aka home. But I'd like the general discourse to focus more on the fact that the direct benefits are for the employee, with positive side-effects for the employer. As in: let's put the employee at the core of the studies.
