It seems to be happening a lot more often these days: working from home. People are more flexible; the office isn’t the only place employees can work from. But why is this trend happening? It seems to be a logical move. With the upraise of online jobs it is unthinkable to only stay in one place. And why would you? When it is possible to work in any place you’d like. We have summed up a few benefits.
Working from home is beneficial for different reasons. First of all, it increases the productivity of the employee. Not being at work in the office provides an opportunity for more focus and concentration. No more distraction from your colleagues with stories of their weekend, or from your boss with question about work. All these things keep you from doing your job and won’t happen when you work from home.
Not only does it make you more productive, it saves a lot of time to work from home. Being able to walk to your computer and start working saves you a lot of travelling time. Busy traffic is not something you have to worry about, just like the busy trains and possible delays. You can just roll out of bed and start working.
Another benefit is that is keeps employees happy and healthy. Study shows that people who often work from home are happier and are less likely to stay home sick. And because of that, employees are less likely to quit their job, because why quit when you are in a happy place?
Being able to have a remote job does not only benefit the employee. The employer has a lot to gain from it as well. Like we addressed, the productivity and happiness increases. This is beneficial from the employer too because they want hard working people working in their company. But think about the office space that won’t be needed when more people are working from home. Employers do not have to invest as much in office space if people work from different places. Working from home is the future, with benefits for employees and employers.
