Working from home is becoming increasingly popular. What are the advantages and disadvantages of this trend?

The number of people, who performance remotely keeps increasing.

This

opportunity has its upsides,

such

as saving time and it enables becoming more independent, but there are some drawbacks to be taken into account. Employers are not paid for travelling to their job place. In order to get from our

home

to the office, we spend our time, for which no employer pays. Keeping that in mind, when we work remotely, we can easily save the time, and spend it for more important issues. What is more, working from

home

often allows people to connect their other responsibilities with a job. In some cases it is the only way to keep a job and, in the meantime,

for example

raise a child,. Needless to say

this

solution is very comfortable, because the employer decides when to work and for how long.

This

can have a positive impact on worker's effectiveness. Despite these advantages, the idea of working from

home

is not without its disadvantages. One of them is facing by employees a lack of motivation. Working from

home

demands being very well organized and motivated as at our homes there are distractions in abundance.

Additionally

, after we

finally

get to the task, we can be very easily interrupted by various external factors, like a crying child or some sort of entertainment

such

as TV. Due to that fact, our productivity might decrease significantly and it can result in loosing the work. Another issue, which should be taken into consideration is loneliness. People who decide to performance remotely and who don’t have any family might be exposure for mental disorders caused by lack of social interactions. In conclusion, while the upsides are enormous, making it easier to keep work-life-balance attitude, the drawbacks should not be overlooked as they can cause serious consequences like becoming unemployed or mental illness.
