The concept of working from home, self-employed, or remotely employed people drastically increased between 2000-2010. We often hear people doing ‘work from home,’ while others toil relentless hours working in typical office spaces and stuck in traffic jams. The global context of congenial workspaces are in fashion and are gaining importance in the Indian market. In the era of virtual spaces of practically everything, it is easy to work from the comfort of your home. There are ample advantages of working from home, irrespective of the nature of work as escaping the daily humdrum of life, and distractive colleagues are an added incentive for any job profile.
One of the significant advantages of working from home is being able to follow a flexible schedule as opposed to the rigid routine at a standard office. Following deadlines cannot be ignored but can be worked upon according to favorable working hours. Another benefit of working from home is saving money. It can be one of the biggest motivations to work from home, as long hours of traveling to work not only make you weary but also require a substantial amount of money spent on fuel or public transport, especially in metro cities. The travel cost might be reduced, but it may very well add up other expenses.
It’s not a new trend anymore, as the ease of internet connectivity and accessibility to Cloud software systems has made “working from home” a great alternative. The spread of the trend has opened a new range of possibilities for the way companies can work and structure themselves. Work from home is here to stay, and here why you should also follow this.
THE ADVANTAGES
1) Flexible schedule.
You can take breaks to gather your thoughts at any moment, feel no rush to hang up on the calls, and have your lunch any time you feel like.
2) Avoid office distractions.
Avoid co-workers debating and distracting you with conversations you don’t want to be a part of. Feel free to set the room temperature that makes you feel comfortable without being interrupted.
3) There’s a lot less stress at home.
Although work pressure exists no matter where you work, it’s always less substantial than working in an office. You don’t need to rush out of your house every morning to reach the office on time.
4) Plan your days
With fewer distractions, and saving up on travel time, you could plan your work in a manner that ends up producing the best results out of you. Knock off some weekend to-do’s and get the job done early to take more time for yourself.
5) Employees will take fewer off days.
Colds and food poisoning make going to the office a headache, but working from home? Not so bad. Employees who are mildly sick can still get work done most of the time. Bonus? No sharing infections.
6) You’ll save money
You’ll see an immediate difference in your bank account when you don’t need to spend on commuting. But you’ll also find savings in many other areas. No separate wardrobes for work and you can also save on food costs since you’ll easily be able to make your lunch and coffee if you work from home.
Multitasking is the key to excel in today’s world. While we all wish we could do it, our studies or work commitments restrict us from doing so. Working from home can enable us to carve out time for other things that we wish to pursue the professional and personal end. Being at our own space can ignite the right mindset and enthusiasm to deliver our best in all aspects of life, including work. Having an opportunity to work in a custom, conducive environment is any day better than being in an over the top vigilant environment. It also saves one from the office gossip and that annoying person who would walk up to your desk every now and then to share their tragic love story!
Final Word
In this fast-paced life of today and our involvement in diverse areas, focusing on health inevitably tends to take a backseat. This is leading to many diseases like diabetes, obesity, etc. affecting the millennials. Fast food is an easy option and comfort food among the youth, which impacts in the long run. Working from home can facilitate some time for physical activities and also healthy eating options as opposed to unhealthy quick bites, while piles of work await you.
From escaping the dreaded daily traffic to making more time for family and loved ones, the advantages of working from home are many. However, there are always two sides to a coin that exists here as well. One might find themselves idling away while at home, or even forget all about the work at hand as their surroundings do not imply a ‘work’-like experience. The ideal situation would be to try and find that balance, which enables one to work with a happy mindset and deliver the best while also trying to focus on personal goals like health, family, and personal interests.
