Many people are working at home rather than in the workplace. Some people believe this will bring benefits to the workers and their families, but others suggest it will cause stress in the home. Discuss both sides and give your opinion.
The development of the Internet and computer science enables employees to
work
from home
. In some people
’s view, working at home
is beneficial whereas others find it stressful. This
essay will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of working from home
and explain my opinion that the pros and cons should be weighed according to the nature of the work
and the character traits of the workers.
One obvious advantage of working from home
is that employees can spend more time
on personal life as the time
for commuting is saved. For instance
, people
with children can take the time
between 5 pm to 6 pm which was used for commuting to pick up their children and cook dinner. Another advantage is that working remotely enables a flexible schedule, which benefits the employees who do not want to stick to office hours. For example
, night owls, who find themselves productive at night but sleepy in the morning, can start to work
later in the day and finish later at night.
On the other hand
, working away from the office can cause many problems. Firstly
, working in an environment with excessive comfort can lead to low productivity, especially for those who are not self-disciplined. To resist taking naps could be very difficult for them since their bedrooms are their offices. Secondly
, the work
that requires much teamwork, such
as product design and event planning, which is are very dependent on cooperation and communication, will be negatively affected if team members are separated at their own houses. Although
communication technology makes online meetings available, it is not as effective as face-to-face discussion.
To conclude, working remotely brings many benefits to workers, such
as saving time
on commuting and having a flexible work
schedule. However
, this
work
mode may not fit
Rewrite the sentence

working on projects needing much teamwork. Therefore

and their traits when choosing which place to work
