Teleworking has been on the increase in recent years. Do you think this is a negative or postive development ?

In recent times, the use of the Internet is rapidly increasing. Ever since the pandemic, working from home has become very common. Though

this

has negative impacts like affecting the productivity of

work

, I think the advantages outweigh the disadvantages of the development.

To begin

with, one of the positive aspects of online

work

is accessibility. A person can

work

from anywhere in the world, there are no in-person meetings or presentations.

For instance

, you can attend meetings

while

you pick up your child from school.

Furthermore

, teleworking employees could have more quality time with their loved ones

while

working, enriching the

work

-life balance.

In addition

to

this

, there is no hustle and bustle in the mornings to reach the office on time, guaranteeing a good sleep. Since

remote working has a positive effect on employees, many companies in Singapore have allowed their workers to

work

from home at least once a week.

On the other hand

, though it has many positive effects on the employees, it is detrimental to the

organisations

because employers cannot monitor whether all the workers are working or not.

This

could lead to less productivity impacting the growth of a company. There is

also

a possibility of an employee working for different

organisations

. In India, during the post-pandemic, many software engineers working from home were found to be working for more than 2

organisations

at a time. These are completely unacceptable and

organisations

should take steps to keep an eye on the employee

while

working remotely. To sum it up, even though

this

development has both positive and negative impacts, I think it is advantageous because the negative could be overcome by simply implementing some regulations to monitor the workers
