My Views on Working from Home
On weekdays, as people wake up and make the commute to work, hundreds of people dream of the day when they can work from home. With the integration of technology and innovation into work and home lives, it is delighted to find that we are now able to turn this dream into a reality. Gone are the days when people have to attend meetings in person. Now, those who work at home can communicate with colleagues via mobile phone, computer, and other digital devices.
Regarding working from home, what firstly comes to our mind? Apparently, the reduction of congestion. In most cities, especially those metropolises, it is a commonplace that people squeeze in and out of a crowded bus or metro in rush hours. Let's imagine what amount of time can be saved when those people choose or are encouraged to work from home. The saved time can be devoted to precious work time, and thus, elevating efficiency. Furthermore, working at home eases the troublesome of some people working in the downtown while living in the suburb. It is also believed that a lot of people, whose representatives are working parents with childcare responsibility, may benefit from the changing work pattern. Moms, in particularly, may don't have to struggle to juggle their careers and their families any more.
But each new thing is always accompanied by potential dangers. The same is true for the trend of working from home. Though embodied with lots of advantages, it also brings about some negative impacts. For instance, the reduction of face-to-face communication may affect team spirits. There are much more distractions at home than in offices, especially for working women with babies. Besides, from the perspective of employers, it is hard for them to monitor the performance of workers at home.
Therefore it is advisable that people take everything into consideration, balancing merits and demerits. Sometimes the job nature has a say in which work pattern fits you. Many people make a combination of working from home and at office, which helps to solve the dilemma. In a nutshell, working from home has both advantages and disadvantages, and the key always lies in how to make the best use of it.
