More and more companies are allowing employees to work at home. Do you think this is a positive or negative development?

With the development of science and technology, there is an increasing trend of working at

home

other than going to

work

place.

This

phenomenon leads to a serious of discussion of whether can employers and benefit from

this

. In my opinion, working at

home

instead

of going to

work

place is in the best interest employers. A convincing argument can be made that it can generate more profit for employers. To start with, working at

home

can save employers many working related experiences.

For instance

, since employees are working at

home

, employers have no need to provide them with parking place for their car, stationary for their daily use and some other necessities,

such

as lighting, water and toilet.

Therefore

, employers can save a lot of expenditure.

Moreover

, working at

home

can improve employees' productivity as well as efficiency. Specifically speaking, people whose job have been to design website usually require a comfortable and creative working

environment

. It may be difficult for the company to provide

such

an

environment

due to the fact that every individual has its unique requirement.

Thus

, it is more rational for employees to

work

at their own

home

so that they can

work

in their ideal

environment

. Only in

this

way, can they provide more extraordinary ideas and create a fantastic website.

In addition

, it has been long proven that individual would spend more time on their job if they

work

at

home

.

That is

to say, employees could apparently avoid wasting time on waiting for the bus, as well as, they could avoid traffic congestion, which would be likely to happen in the rush hour.

Hence

, it would, in fact benefit of the employers. Admittedly, working at

home

may sometimes bring problems for senior managers to control the company's business. The reason for

this

is that, working in an office, employees should report basically everything they do to their supervisor. And

then

their supervisor will report their performance to the senior managers so that they can evaluate how is their business and whether is the organisation functioning.

However

, with everyone working at

home

, it would be impossible for senior managers make

such

an evaluation.

This

in turn will largely discourage employees' motivation since their boss does not have an idea of their performance.

This

seems to be a crucial issue at the

first

sight;

however

,

this

issue can be easily addressed through computer science and technology.

Also

, people should not overlook the fact that the more supervision in the office the less freedom employees would get. The lack of freedom during

work

would discourage employees as well. To sum up, personally I believe that employers can get more benefit if they allow employees to

work

at their own

home

. It can provide employees a comfortable working

environment

, reduce the time workers wasted on the road and

also

improve their

work

productivity in a general sense.
