I think having a quiet place to work with few (or at least more controllable) distractions is paramount to getting in the zone and staying there. It's always been clear, and now we have some hard data, that working from home lets employees deliver better bang-for-the-buck; and shows that making everyone come to the office day in, day out has a real tax to it.
So maybe you don't need to hire more; just better position the people you've got for success.

The population was workers with at least 6 months time and who had a private room to work in. Also they were call center employees.
I would hesitate to draw a conclusions for a larger population. Some professions and industries might need more time than 6 months. And these aren't jobs with a high level of communication. Plus starting a new project isn't something that is the same for a more detailed profession and might not apply in that case either.
