Does working remote increase stress?

Does your organization let you work from home at times?

According to an August 2015 Gallup research poll; 37% of U.S. workers say they telecommute, up slightly from 30% in the last decade but four times greater than the 9% found in 1995.

Gallup’s research that found workers who spend some of their time working remotely log more hours than their counterparts, and U.S. workers who spend more hours working remotely outside of normal working hours are more likely to experience a substantial amount of stress.

According to the research; it is possible that by emailing or working remotely outside of normal hours, workers associate their behaviors with greater success and accomplishment. At the same time, the elevated levels of stress associated with these behaviors may fall into what some refer to as “productive stress.” For some workers this type of stress may be a desirable emotional state that is associated with greater urgency and more productive work days.

My question; is this ’productive stress’ having a long-term impact on you?

Is it really worth it?
