When it comes to workplace, we normally think we have to go there to work. A lot of us commute work every day. However, there are some people who work remotely at their homes or away from their offices. What do you think is the reason why some companies permit their employees to work this way?

It is believed that for many years in the past and for most businesses, it has been common sense that people have to commute to their workplaces.

However

, where we

work

has been changing. More and more staff are working remotely, sometimes at

home

. The reasons are to save company expenses and not to have limitations on recruiting talented job seekers. First of all, corporations want to reduce their operating costs.

Moreover

, among the many ways of achieving

this

goal, having employees

work

remotely can reduce money spent on equipment that workers generally need if they have to

labor

Change the spelling

labour

show examples

in an office. Long ago, I used to

work

for an institution that was located in the city far from where I lived.

Additionally

, there was no branch office where I could commute to,

however

that business wanted me. The only option left for both of us was for me to stay

home

and

work

remotely. With the advances in technology, especially the Internet, I was able to

work

fine a long way from the company. If the organization had set up a workplace for me, they would have had to spend a large amount of money.

Secondly

, establishments can create more chances to hire qualified and competent employees who live far away from the workplaces. Sometimes, engineers in the computer, biotechnology, pharmaceutical fields, and so forth, are not easily found locally. What if a high-tech company finds a candidate perfectly suited for its job, but the candidate doesn't want to relocate?

Then

there is no choice but to let the person

work

remotely.

To conclude

, I do believe that cost-conscious firms want to save money to increase profits and they want to find qualified employees without worrying about geographical restrictions. To achieve these goals, institutions choose to allow their members of staff to

work

at

home

if no other options are available. It seems that working at

home

or remotely is a growing trend nowadays.
