Research has shown that spending much less time in office can reduce the use of energy (for example, electricity, gas). Thus, some companies close for some days a week. Do the advantages of this development outweigh the disadvantages?

A study revealed that some workplaces should be closed for a few days a week so that employees can spend much less time in the office and minimize the usage of

energy

such

as power, gas and so on. It, indubitably, leads to affect the performance of the

company

;

however

, the merits, which are the development of rural areas and savage of

energy

resources

, supersede the demerits. The above development leads to an adverse effect on the outcome of an organization.

This

is because companies work would be stopped for few days in a week and collectively it would be like one complete off week in a month. To exemplify, a multi-national

company

experienced a loss of 10% in 2010.

Consequently

, the whole productive outcome of any organization will be drastically reduced. Despite

company

loss, it will help in the development of rural areas. Since

energy

will save during off days of workplaces, as air-conditioners, lifts, lights

along with

other electrical equipment will be no longer operating,

this

will help in saving of more power and that electricity can be transferred to the countryside.

Moreover

, it will help in less consumption of

energy

resources

. The reason behind

this

is less amount of a coal, water required to generate electricity and produce gas, thereby, and non-renewable

resources

will be preserved for future generations. A survey disclosed that in the

last

two years consumption of coal in a thermal power plant is reduced from 10 million ton to 7 million ton. To recapitulate,

although

it destructs the outcome of the

company

, its positive side, owing to the growth of the rural area and saving of natural

resources

, overshadows the negative side.
