Working remotely and not having to commute is saving Irish office workers 58 minutes per day on average, according to new research.

The survey, conducted by Censuswide on behalf of IT services provider Auxillion, found that the majority of the 500 people who took part (59%) said they were using this additional time to relax or to be with their families.
