 workers tend to move less and sit tight to their desks while working online, whereas at the
office
 they may walk to another department for a meeting or go to the cafeteria for lunch.
Additionally
, a reduction of verbal communication with a colleague may increase stress for many. Despite these disadvantages, there are some advantages needed to be acknowledged. It is beneficial not to go to the
office
 because people can save time and money spent on travelling.
For example
, when a meeting with an international partner is required, it can be easily carried out without travelling long and far away.
Also
, the risk of showing up late at

 can be reduced, and

Also
, another profit from working at home is that the time saved from commuting can be used for other personal activities,
such
 as doing exercise or laundry or going shopping for groceries.
Then
, the quality of life is improved, and the stress level will go down. To conclude,

 development provides people with the possibility of working from home. Despite its disadvantages including the bad health effect and the requirement of a powerful

 setting, they are outweighed by the upsides of working online, being time- and money-saving and improving
