Nowadays, there has been a big change in the way people work. Working from home is now a popular choice and it’s changing the regular office way of working. More and more people choose to work from home as the developing technologies and benefits that comes with staying home during working hours.
A huge benefit of home-office is that people can arrange their own working hours and be flexible about when to start and when to stop. They won’t have to drive to office every day and getting into traffic so they will be saving time, money and energy at the same time. Because they will be less tired, it will help people work better in a comfortable working environment and making a balance between work and their social life.
Another benefit of it is people can work a companies which are not even in the same country with them. It allows them to obtain business network more easily. They can be discovered by very large companies, which will increase their job opportunities and the money they earn. Having people from different cultures in the work environment can make the employees more creative and productive.
As I mentioned before, they will not use any kind of transportation to go to work. Therefore there are benefits for the environment too. There will be less pollution due to not using transportation. So this change in the way of working could help to make the earth healthier.
On the other hand, there can be struggles too. Like not communicating face to face can make people lonely, lead them to become antisocial individuals, and make it difficult for them to bond with their colleagues. Of course, this situation may depend on person to person, but precautions still need to be taken. To avoid this situation, companies need to bring colleagues together frequently on projects or events.
To sum up all the things I have stated, home-offices are starting to normalize in society. There are so many benefits such as flexibility, saving time, making business network and helping the environment. The downsides are neglectable and they are easy to solve. In the future, we can contribute to both ourselves and the environment by doing our work from home.
