Home office: Yay or nay?

Abstract

In the first quarter of 2022, Bioforum performed an anonymous internal survey among its medical writers to understand if our employees would like to return to a physical office or prefer to stay in the home office despite the lifting of most of the COVID-19 restrictions. Bioforum’s Medical Writing Team reported working from home as a positive experience overall and highlighted both an increase in work productivity and work-life balance. The possibility of working remotely spurred our team’s growth by 366% during the pandemic. Stemming from our success with this business model, we will be working from home even following the pandemic.
