The number of people working online from home has grown in some countries. What advantages and disadvantages can come from this trend?

The number of people working online from home has grown in some countries. What advantages and disadvantages can come from this trend? XGlRY

In the present age, it is common for people to work from home because of advances in technology. On balance, I would argue that this has more negative impacts than positive ones. One advantage of working from home is the freedom it provides. Home workers can organize their work around their home life as they can stop or start work as they please, and thus if, for example, they have children, they can easily arrange to take them and pick them up from school. They can also undertake any other tasks that they need to do during the day, such as doing the laundry or shopping and then finish work later. Overall then, employees have more control over their lives. Despite these positive factors, however, there are a number of disadvantages. The first of these is the fact that those who work at home nearly all the time will not be mixing with colleagues. When people are at work, they are always surrounded by others, but at home, an employee is likely to be alone most of the time. This may lead to feelings of loneliness due to a lack of interaction. Another drawback is the fact that one may have less influence in the company. It is often the case that important decisions arise on the spur of the moment as unexpected issues arise. If an employee is not there, others may have to step in. If this occurs on a regular basis, the employee's contribution to the company may decline, meaning a higher probability of getting overlooked for things such as promotion. In conclusion, although there are positives and negatives related to working from home, there are more negative impacts. Employees should therefore consider carefully whether working from home is the best choice
