Example result
Literature matrix: 3 studies on remote work and employee wellbeing
Structured notes: Paper 1
Harlow & Byrne (2022), "Home as office: a two-wave study of remote employees"
- Research question: Does moving to fully remote work change emotional exhaustion over 12 months?
- Method: two-wave online survey, baseline and 12 months later
- Sample: 612 office employees from 9 mid-sized firms; 71% retained at wave 2
- Key findings: exhaustion fell slightly overall, but rose among employees with children under 6 and those without a separate room to work in
- Limitations: self-report only; firms chose to take part, which may favour well-managed companies
- Quotable: "The home was not the problem; the absence of a door was" (p. 14)
Comparison matrix
| Harlow & Byrne (2022) | Mendez et al. (2023) | Okafor (2024) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Design | Longitudinal survey, 2 waves | Cross-sectional survey | Qualitative interviews |
| Sample | 612 employees, 9 firms | 1,480 employees, one country | 28 team leads |
| Work mode | Fully remote | Remote, hybrid, office | Hybrid |
| Wellbeing measure | Emotional exhaustion scale | Life satisfaction, 1 item | Themes from interviews |
| Main effect | Small decrease in exhaustion | Hybrid highest satisfaction | Hybrid adds coordination stress for managers |
| Key moderator | Childcare, workspace | Commute length | Team size |
| Main limitation | Self-selected firms | Single-item measure, no causality | Small, one sector |
Themes and agreements
- Conditions matter more than location. All three studies point to home setup, commute or team size as what decides whether remote work helps or hurts (Harlow & Byrne p. 14; Mendez et al. p. 9; Okafor p. 22).
- Hybrid looks best for employees, but Okafor shows the cost moves to managers, who plan around whose day it is in the office.
Contradictions
- Harlow & Byrne find exhaustion falls with full remote work; Mendez et al. find fully remote employees report lower life satisfaction than hybrid ones. The two measure different things (exhaustion vs. overall satisfaction), so they may not truly conflict.
Gaps
- No study follows people for more than 12 months.
- None compares employees and their managers within the same teams.
- Wellbeing of employees with disabilities is not analysed separately in any of the three.

About this service
Decision-makers in NGOs, ministries and local government rarely read full research papers; they read two to four pages that say what the problem is, what the evidence shows, what the options are and what is recommended. Send the papers your brief should rest on as PDF or Word files, with the audience and the decision at stake, and we write a policy brief in that structure, with each finding tied to its source and the strength of the evidence stated plainly. Where the papers disagree or the evidence is thin, the brief says so rather than overstating it.
What is included
- What you getA policy brief as a Word file: key messages, the problem, what the evidence shows with citations, policy options with trade-offs and recommendations, plus a reference list. From Standard, an Excel table of the evidence from each paper.
- Key messagesThree to five points up front
- Evidence with sourcesEach finding tied to its paper
- Strength of evidenceStated plainly, gaps admitted
- Options and trade-offsWhat each choice costs and gains
- RecommendationsConcrete and tied to the evidence
How it works
- 1PapersYou upload sources and the audience
- 2WritingWe draw findings into a brief
- 3DeliveryYou get the Word brief
What we need from you
The research papers or reports as PDF with selectable text or Word (up to 5 files, about 40,000 words in total), who the brief is for and what decision they face, your organisation's position if it has one, the length limit and the citation style.
We will ask you:
- Who will read the brief, and what decision do they face?
- Does your organisation have a position to argue?
- What is the length limit?
- Which citation style should we use?

Questions and answers
Will you add statistics from other sources?
No. The brief rests only on the papers you send. If a local figure is needed, give it to us with its source and we include it.
Can the brief argue for our position?
Yes, as long as the evidence supports it. Where the papers point the other way, we say so, because a brief that hides it loses trust.
Can you find more papers on my topic?
No. We work only with the papers you send and do not search databases or the web.
What if my papers are very long?
All files together can hold about 40,000 words. Leave out appendices and reference lists, or send fewer papers.
