In the past, most people used to travel to their place of work. With increased use of computers, the internet and smart phones, more and more people are starting to work from home. What are the advantages and disadvantages of this development? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

There is no doubt that more

people

prefer to work from

home

compared to in offices. Working from

home

has become a norm after the COVID-19 pandemic as it offers

people

a much more flexible and convenient way of doing work;

however

, it has both pros and

cons

. As

that is

the case, I am going to discuss my point of view for both sides with evidence for each claim. The benefits of working from

home

include increasing the productivity and efficiency of the

employee

. As the research states, most

people

tend to be more concentrated at

home

compared to the workplace for some reason; because

home

is much quieter than the workplace, especially in the city

center

show examples

For instance

, my sister works at a retail company, the physical store is located inside the Kuala Lumpur City Centre (KLCC);

however

, when the pandemic hit she has been working from

home

since managing the online store. She used to rush to her workplace but not anymore as she just woke up and works from her desk at

home

.

As a result

, she has been awarded the best

employee

; because she has recorded the highest sales in the online store. In winding up, working from

home

surely increased the productivity and efficiency of the

employee

.

On the other hand

, working from

home

has drawbacks. By working at

home

, some

people

may experience a mental disturbance which can lead to depression. For some

people

, they cannot stand being alone which causes them severe stress.

This

limited communication with the outside world may be one of the factors of

this

mental disturbance. Sometimes, you should rest and communicate with

people

, as it is very draining to sit for hours in front of the computer.

For instance

, an

employee

was given the task that she could not handle alone which led her to severe depression causing her not to step out of the apartment for one month.

To sum up

, working from

home

has its drawbacks to

people

’s mental health. On the final note, even though

this

issue has both pros and

cons

, the pros outweigh the

cons

;

however

, the

cons

can be solved in many ways.
