Some say that it would be better if the majority of employees worked from home instead of travelling to a workplace every day. Do you think the advantages of working from home outweigh the disadvantages?

Some people believe that working from

home

will bring more benefits for workers. In my perspective, I agree with half of

this

statement.

However

,

this

can

also

bring some drawbacks to the

staff

and I will explain the reason behind my argument in my essay below. On the one hand, the advantages of working from

home

are better work-life balance and less commute stress.

Firstly

for work-life balance, employees that can work from

home

can

also

do house chores at the same time. Whether it's dropping kids off at school, running some errands, attending an online fitness class in the morning, or being

home

for a contractor. These tasks are all easier to balance when working from

home

.

Secondly

for less commute stress, according to the auto insurance

center

Change the spelling

centre

show examples

, commuters spend about 100

hours

commuting and 41

hours

stuck in traffic each year. If these

hours

can be used for other important tasks in their jobs, many employees can feel more satisfied with themselves and the company that they work with.

For example

, a worker in central London might finish his job in just 4

hours

a day

instead

of 8

hours

due to the long traffic to commute to reach their building office. On the one hand, working from

home

also

brings disadvantages for workers especially the

staff

who always spend most of their time in front of the screen because it will lead to gain weight and end up with metabolic diseases

such

as hypertension and heart diseases.

For example

, people who work from

home

will always stay at

home

and there is not much movement for them.

This

will cause a lack of body movement and will decrease the metabolism process in the body.

As a result

, those workers will become obese in the end and will give them several metabolic diseases at a young age.

In addition

, working from

home

also

can make people less socialize with other employees and

this

will lead them to become depressed easily. To conclude, In my opinion, working at

home

can bring both positives and negative effects for

staff

members.

However

, if the worker can maintain their body weight in a good shape and try to do some exercise more in their spare time at

home

also

try to socialize more with other

staff

through online

then

they can get more benefits by working from

home

.
