It was in the past when everyone had to drive to their offices and work there. Thanks to the explosion of the Internet and smart devices, this trend has been changed significantly, people now are working more from their home. This essay attempts to shed light on both the merits and demerits of this tendency before concluding that it brings more advantages for employees.
On the one hand, work-at-home environment is disadvantages to some extent. The first drawback is that workers can be influenced by many factors around. The manager have less control than in the past, lead to a loss of concentration in employees. For instance, they may not complete their tasks on time, as well as delay the job because of time balancing issues. Furthurmore, it can create negative impact on employee’s mental and physical health. Spending many hours to look at the devices and stay at home carry risk of diseases such as obesity, cardiovascular diseases and bone diseases.
On the other hand, there are a lot of compelling reasons as to why I am convinced that working from home can help people to save more money and time daily, improve the quality of life. They don’t have to spend money on gasoline or eating out, and also limited the amount of Co2 emissions, which is really good for the air condition. At home, workers can do many things together at the same time, the work is more convenient and it is much flexible in scheduling time. For example, they can pursue their hobbies or passions without worrying about the working time. As for the company, high-quality work forces can be recruitmented in any places of the world. Obstacles in working location will dissapear and help the company to have more talented people.
In conclusion, while it is irrefutable that working from home can bring low work efficiency, I would contend that it have more positive impact if we can balance our times and focus more on the tasks.
