Nowadays with the advent of advanced technology, the number of people who are choosing to
work

Firstly
, the most important benefit of working in an

is having the opportunity of meeting the team in person, which can increase communication and in turn the productivity of the company. It is a well-known fact that building rapport between colleagues is paramount when it comes to

efficiency.
Secondly
, we humans are social creatures, and day-to-day commuting and working in an
office
gives us the chance to socialise and to meet new people.
Nevertheless
, despite the advantages above I believe, that working from home has some valuable benefits which would be a shame to miss out on. A
first
advantage of working remotely would be, the fact that people would not need to commute to

better air quality, less tainted by the toxic gas emissions from cars. A
further
advantage is that employees no longer have to be located where the company resides, they can
work
remotely. Working online employees can live in a different town or different country or even can travel while working. To sum up, I believe that physical presence at
work
is still important for the reasons mentioned.
However
, online working has benefits that can not be ignored without missing out.
Therefore
, employers should adopt a type of hybrid workplace model, in which employees can perform most of their tasks from outside the
office
(mostly their homes), while other tasks continue to perform at the
office
