Poll: 8 in 10 Brazilians feel more productive working from home

Around 80 percent of Brazilians are feeling more productive working from home, a poll by startup Pulses found. Of the 89,000 people interviewed, 94 percent indicated they are adopting a full social isolation regime, which might allow employees to focus on their work. However, these numbers come accompanied by over 50 percent of workers describing themselves as feeling “more anxious” lately, with 13 percent of them indicating a high level of anxiety.  

Concerning the work environment, 21 percent said they did not have a “basic structure” to work from home. The poll found that those working for small- and medium-sized companies felt more prepared to do so.
