If there is a greater way to sell a candidate on a job then telling them “Oh yeah, and you get to work from home!”, then I’ve yet to find it. There’s a reason 43% of the workforce consists of workers who spend time working remotely.
Think about how much stress you could omit if you could skip your morning commute, even for just a few times a week. Now consider how much more productive your team could be with a couple extra hours in the week. As work-from-home employees are better equipped to avoid common office distractions you can expect teams to be more productive than those working in the office. Work-from-home benefits don’t have to be a one-way street, employers can enjoy their own set of benefits as well.
“LinkedIn’s Winning Talent research shows that a poor employer brand or reputation does not just make it harder to find the best staff, but also impacts a company’s bottom line. In addition to simply attracting better employees, a strong employer brand helps employee retention and engagement, so the true value is even greater than this data suggests.”
Chris Brown, director of LinkedIn Talent Solutions

Nick Bloom, conducted a study to evaluate the benefits of working from home. He found workers were more productive, got more done, worked longer hours, took less breaks, and used less sick time than their in-office counterparts. Those same employees reported feeling happier and quit less than those who weren’t working remotely.
