Many people these days have computer, laptop and telephone at home for work.Do you think working fron home has more advantage or disadvantage?

The topic concerning the benefits for

employees

working from

home

never fails to attract the public's attention.

Although

many people criticize working from

home

has modified the

office

's culture negatively , I believe the pros outweigh the cons.

First

of all, the disadvantages of doing tasks at

home

include reducing coherence among

colleagues and impairing

health

conditions. With the option of staying at

home

for jobs,

employees

tend to communicate with their colleagues through computer software. Having brief discussions through chatting tools

such

as Teams and Skype and holding conferences by Zoom are convincing examples to name a few. A study from the University of London pointed out that relying on electronic tools,

instead

of face-to-face communication impairs communication efficacy.

This

deteriorates the collaborating quality and

thus

the colleague's efficacy.

Besides

, sitting at your flat all day leads to poor social well-being and physical

health

. Not only would

employees

reduce their physical activities

such

as moving around the

office

or walking for the transportation, but they may

also

eat more snacks due to a less intensive environment compared to the

office

.

This

increases their

health

burdens

such

as the risk of cardiovascular diseases. The lack of verbal communication may

also

depress an individual.

Thus

, in long term, working from

home

may harm

health

.

In contrast

, it is reasonable for me to believe remote

office

contributes to the advancement of working efficacy and safeguarding the public's

health

. Compared to a strict

office

, working at

home

is comparatively chiller. Workers have to get up early for transport to the job location in the past practice, while with a laptop and a telephone only, they can complete various tasks by accessing the company's cloud drive and applications, and seeking help or discussing with their colleagues instantly. What is more, under globalization, some departments need to reach overseas clients and company partners out of

office

hours due to the time zone issue. .

Employees

can manage their time more effectively and flexibly if they can work remotely and

thus

be energized with sufficient rest.

Also

, with more commuters remaining in their

home

, the risk of spreading infectious diseases is greatly reduced. During the COVID-19 pandemic season, when the public transport is crowded with the white collars and the

office

facilities

such

as the toilet and the pantry are shared by more

employees

, the risk of spreading germs rises.

For example

, the COVID-19 cases were greatly reduced by 75% one month after launching the policy of compulsory working from

home

.

This

reflects dragging more people to stay

home

can lower disease spreading. To conclude, there are several concerns for a full remote

office

with computers, laptops and telephones.

However

, these can be avoided with the self-discipline of the workers in monitoring their own

health

and the engagement of the

employees

in their work. Obviously, for the future of our society, the advantages clearly outweigh the disadvantages.
