It is true that distance working has brought many advantages to both employees and employers in many ways. While there are serious negative consequences, I truly believe that those are outweighed by the advantages.
On the one hand, there are some aspects of off-site work. Principally, inefficiency and lack of networking between co-workers, which raise cause for concern. In terms of workers itself, they often spend the time given to them for working outside the office minding their own busined and caring less about their official responsibilities. They may overindulge in freedom, which leads to half of their work being undone when it actually was supposed to be. In terms of the hirers, the problems of unmanaged schedule, interaction being less accessible often result to many misunderstandings, conflicts and the absence of mutual understanding.
On the other hand, despite such grave issues, these are not insurmountable and should be considered against the advantages of the work from home type of shift. Firstly, there obviously would be a considerable growth in the level of concentration, since working alone, in a condition where nobody and nothing gets on your way provides one an opportunity to fully focus on their job without being interrrupted, therefore leading to being able to find balance between their duties and personal responsibilities. Secondly, it would be less needed to construct new building as those lands could be used for more crucial needs such as healthcare or educational services. Employees would generally benefit from time management and finding harmony prospects afforded to them.
To conclude, I believe that the advantages of remote work for both employees and society are greater than the drawbacks, serious though these are.
