Speaking for myself, working remotely has made me more productive and more efficient.

More productive because I do not want to give up my five-minute commute from the bedroom to the kitchen for coffee to the work space for the motorized 45 minute-plus slog through insane traffic, made more aggravating and stressful due to weather; more productive because working remotely spares me the drop-in meetings commonplace in the workplace that are prefaced with "Can I talk to you for a couple of minutes" and two hours later I am forced to work another two hours from home; more productive because I can remain focused on a task at hand instead of constant disruptions and distractions.

More efficient because I can (and do) get started earlier, which allows me to complete the work day earlier. That translates into a willingness to do a few extra things to demonstrate my appreciation for the ability to work remotely.
