More and More people are working at home rather than in the workplace. Some people say this will bring benefits to the workers and their families, but others think it will bring stress to the home. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

Although

some people argued that working at

home

rather than going to the office will be beneficial to the employees and their families, while others believes it would

stress

the

home

. In my own view, I strongly believe that having a choice to

work

at

home

will have a great impact on the lives of employees. On the one hand, some people think that working from

home

would be of benefits to the employees and I agree.

Firstly

, they argued that it gives workers the flexibility to attend to other important matters in their life and have a

work

life balance.

For example

, as a working mother,

this

arrangement enables a worker to take care of her baby and as well do her office

work

effectively at her own convenience.

Secondly

, the

stress

of getting to

work

at a particular time is a challenge for an employee when the

work

can be achieved anywhere he or she is.

For instance

, the traffic issue in Nigeria makes it overly stressful for people to get to their place of

work

and most times they get there exhausted and unable to achieve the required result for the day. Whereas, if the staff is to

work

at

home

, he/she would have achieved more and still have time to relax. I believe working from

home

will help with emotional stability of employees which will in turn reflect on their families.

On the other hand

, other people believe that working at

home

will lead to

stress

for an employee due to familiarity. It is said that husband and wife respect and appreciate each other more when they don't see each other often at

home

to avoid frequent fight and

stress

in the

home

. It will be unfair to say flexible

work

style will cause more

stress

to the

home

. In conclusion, while people may vary in their opinions,

i

refers to the speaker or writer

I

believe that employees stand a better chance to have a

work

life balance if they are given the opportunity to have flexible working style

such

as working from

home

.
