Employees say that having the option to work from home gives them greater flexibility and satisfaction, according to a new survey.

Cisco polled nearly 2,000 of its own employees across five regions of the world to find out how staff members feel about remote working.

The findings reveal that 69 percent of respondents say they are more productive when working from home, while 75 percent say they finish their work more quickly.

A majority of employees agreed that although they may be based in a different location than co-workers, their success at communicating is not compromised. Eighty-three percent said they collaborate just as well at home as when they work on site.

"A properly executed program for telecommuting can be extremely effective at unlocking employee potential by increasing work-life balance, productivity and overall satisfaction," said Rami Mazid, vice president of global client services and operations at Cisco.

Indeed, 80 percent of survey respondents said working from home had improved their quality of life.

Flexibility and an enhanced work-life balance are some of the most common benefits cited by freelance workers who are home-based.
