Half of workers report their home as their preferred place for maximum productivity, according to a survey by FlexJobs, a job search website specializing in telecommuting, freelance, part-time and other flexible work opportunities.

The survey found 50% of people reported that their home — and not the office — is their location of choice to be most productive on important work-related projects. Another 12% said they would choose a coffee shop, co-working space, library or other place besides the office; 14% would choose the office but only outside standard hours, leaving less than one-quarter who prefer the actual office during regular working hours as a place to complete important work.

“The results of this survey unfortunately confirm that there is a serious problem with how our workplaces support — or more accurately, don’t support — an optimal environment for productivity, and this is a real loss in both opportunity and revenue for companies,” said FlexJobs Founder and CEO Sara Sutton Fell. “Companies need to take a serious look at their telecommuting policies and how they can help to harness the benefits telecommuting offers them.”

The top reasons people think they are more productive at home versus the office include fewer interruptions from colleagues (76%), fewer distractions (74%), minimal office politics (71%), reduced stress from commuting (68%) and more comfortable office environment (65%).

The survey included 2,600 respondents.
