With a rich background in development and product design as the former CTO, Jared instills a mission at Hubstaff: to empower companies with comprehensive data on their internal operations to maximize productivity. Leveraging his extensive testing experience, Jared shares invaluable insights on CRO, showcasing how Hubstaff exemplifies the integration of testing to consistently enhance its product offerings. Hubstaff&#8217;s story shows how testing can transform the development of SaaS products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Did you know that Hubstaff found remote employees have deeper focus and fewer interruptions than those working in the office? Their study showed that remote workers spend more time on focused tasks, with 59.48% of their work week dedicated to &#8220;focus time&#8221;\u2014a block of 30 minutes or more of productive work with minimal distractions. In contrast, in-office teams dedicate only 48.5% of their week to such focused work. These findings suggest that remote work can lead to greater productivity and efficiency.

For the past 6 years, I\u2019ve written B2B content for various brands, but my journey into the world of experimentation began with writing about eCommerce optimization. Since then, I\u2019ve dived deep into A\/B testing and conversion rate optimization, translating complex concepts into content that\u2019s clear, actionable, and human. At VWO, I now write extensively about building a culture of experimentation, using data to drive UX decisions, and optimizing digital experiences across industries like SaaS, travel, and e-learning.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/pratyusha-guha-a4058416a\/"],"url":"https:\/\/vwo.com\/blog\/author\/pratyushaguha\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/vwo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/86318","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/vwo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/vwo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vwo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/814"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vwo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=86318"}],"version-history":[{"count":20,"href":"https:\/\/vwo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/86318\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":87560,"href":"https:\/\/vwo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/86318\/revisions\/87560"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vwo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/86328"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/vwo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=86318"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vwo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=86318"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vwo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=86318"},{"taxonomy":"feature","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vwo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/feature?post=86318"},{"taxonomy":"industry-type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vwo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/industry-type?post=86318"},{"taxonomy":"product","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vwo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product?post=86318"},{"taxonomy":"role","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vwo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/role?post=86318"},{"taxonomy":"region","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vwo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/region?post=86318"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
