Working from home is a huge topic recently. Some people think that it is harmful and has negative sides more than its positive sides, but some think that working from home has more positive sides than the negative sides. Maybe this changes from person to person but from my personal standpoint working from home has mostly positive sides.
First of all I want to start with the positive sides of working from home. From the research that Stanford University did, we can all say that working from home is better than the office by looking at the evidences that the research has given. Working from home makes people more comfortable so they can work more effective. When people work from home they have a comfort zone and this comfort zone makes people work harder and makes them more concentrated on their work. This provides people to work more effectively. On another hand some people thinks that this comfort zone distracts people. In some way that is also true. This comfort zone may make people feel more relaxed. If people feel too relaxed because of they are home this would make them work less and this disturbes their concentration.
People works more flexible when they are working from home. By this people work in their most flexible hours and this makes them work harder. Another element about pros of working from home is time and money savings, first lets look at time savings: people dont lose their time going to their office and coming back to home, most people goes work by public transportation and this takes hours to go to their office and comşng back to their home back, also this takes peoples energy too, they walk to bus stops, subway stations…
About money saving people who goes to work by their own car has lots of fuel expenditure. The people who goes work by public transportation uses it because if they go work by their own car it will be more expensive than public transportation. If people work from home, they would save their time and rest at the time which they would spend at road to work and work more energetic.
To sum up everything that has been stated so far, working from home has both pros and cons but by looking at researches that done before we can say that working from home is better than the office.
