eam working. As a worker becomes less involved in “everyday matters” he or she misses out on daily updates and possible promotions.

Finally

, working from home, using the telephone for job purposes, can increase telecommunication costs for an employee.

However

, remote working has financial benefits for the employer especially considerably lower overheads,

such

as the cost of working space, less furniture needed and lower fuel bills. There are

also

financial benefits for the employee because of the reduction in travelling time and transport costs. Childcare costs can be reduced too as a worker will not have to pay as much for childcare.

Moreover

, more people can apply for a job as companies can offer a position for a wider number of people.

For example

, somebody with disabilities will not worry about getting to an office as they may have chances to work from home.

In addition

, the reduction of travelling to work is environmentally friendly since it reduces air pollution which protects our planet. To sum up, the increasing number of computers and telephones, and Wi-fi and Cloud hardware systems give the chance to many people to do their job remotely. Despite some disadvantages, the benefits outweigh them significantly.
