In addition

to

this

, touch on the easily manageable drawbacks. On the one hand, one’s

outcome is enhanced when they are comfortable. Alternatively,

is because, some people spend hours commuting back and forth every day. Regardless, with the ease of communication and requirement for just a wifi connection, the need for transport is deemed unessential.

Therefore

, time wasted on travel is substituted by actual

work

and productivity.

results in a sense of detachment from the workplace.

this

loss of interaction leads to mis-communication and distance between employer and employee, which is essential in ensuring a functional, cooperative working environment.

this

could easily be overcome by great online applications

such

as difficultly travelling to and from the workplace. As well as, the amplification of talent through eradication of stress. In the future, working from where you live should be an available option at all business’s.
