After two years, the study showed that the telecommuters worked a true full shift (or more) compared with those in the control group, some of whom would be late to the office or leave early multiple times a week.
The telecommuters also found it less distracting and easier to concentrate at home.
Additionally, the study found that those working from home saw a 50 per cent decrease in attrition. It was found that the group took shorter breaks, had fewer sick days and took less time off.
As a bonus, they were also helping reduce carbon emissions by not travelling to work and back home again five times a week.
The study also proved a success for the company, who saved almost US$2000 ($2905) per employee on rent by reducing the amount of office space at HQ.
Distraction in the workplace is common, especially in large open plan offices, with noise and constant person-to-person interaction at the heart of the problem.
Futurologist Dr Nicole Millard told the Daily Mail that open plan office workers are distracted every three minutes.
"The trouble with open plan offices is they are a one-size-fits-all model which actually fits nobody," Millard said.
"We're interrupted every three minutes. It takes us between eight and 20 minutes to get back into that thought process."
And according to scientists, open plan offices also make workers more miserable. A study, which was carried out by researchers from the CTF, Service Research Centre at Karlstad University in Sweden, found that staff who work in an open environment are distracted, irritated and find it difficult to have a good conversation with colleagues.
Dr Tobias Otterbring, lead author of the study, said: "The results show a negative relationship between the number of co-workers sharing an office and employees' job satisfaction."
