\"working<\/a>In today\u2019s world, we can do almost everything without leaving the comforts of our home. \u00a0There\u2019s online shopping, therapy via Snapclarity, advice and expertise via Magnifi<\/a>, dining in courtesy of Uber Eats or Skip the Dishes, studying, and online dating. Even job hunting<\/a> and interviews are quickly becoming synonymous with sitting in front of a laptop instead of pounding the pavement with a printed resume. Not surprisingly, most people are starting to warm up to the idea of doing their work from home. It\u2019s no longer only independent or freelance professionals either. Now large companies and governments are also recognizing that their employees don\u2019t need to board a congested bus to sit in a cubicle for 8 hours when they can accomplish the exact same thing without leaving their home at all. And, with digital monitoring already establishing its presence in corporations, managers\/supervisors can observe their workers\u2019 productivity from anywhere.<\/p>\n

The advantages of working from home<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"working<\/a>Saving Money: <\/strong>There are so many ways in which getting from one\u2019s home to the workplace can become costly. There\u2019s the expense of a work-friendly wardrobe to fit all seasons. Transportation, including winter tires for a safer commute, is another expenditure as is constantly filling up the gas tank to get from one end of the city to another. Even if you\u2019re lucky enough to be able to take public transportation to-and-from-work, those passes, and the additional costs of Uber or taxis on days when you miss a bus\/shuttle can get expensive too. Then factor in the cost of before-and-after care for children (which can be hundreds just for a few hours a week) all because they have to factor in their travel time to-and-from work. For many professionals, their major financial stresses come from having to rent a space to work from, and with virtual offices popping up companies are now saving costs by allowing their employees to use their personal electronic devices rather than supplying them with corporate tech resources.<\/p>\n

Time \/ Flexibility: <\/strong>You\u2019ve heard the expression \u2018time is money.\u2019 Well, setting your own hours to accommodate your peak productivity is something that many of us don\u2019t appreciate as much as we should. Some clients say their most productive time is in the afternoon and later evenings, others say they work best even before most people are brewing their morning coffee.<\/p>\n

One client said, \u201cHonestly, I get more done in an hour while draped in my bathrobe, sitting at my kitchen island than I ever did working in an office 9-5.\u201d I won\u2019t exaggerate and say that I can accomplish a full day\u2019s work in an office in one hour from home, but I definitely pack a lot into a typical day at home. Reducing one\u2019s travel time decreases the stress of rush hour traffic jams or trying to align bus schedules with office hours. More importantly, minimizing or eliminating the commute can allow you to concentrate on the job 100%. Studies show that less stress enables more creativity and motivation. This \u2018found time\u2019 also allows us to reassign some time to other tasks and errands that can\u2019t be fit into a normal workweek. For some, this flexibility and freedom in a workday helps them maintain consistent motivation.<\/p>\n

I know that many people factor in their anticipated commute times and whether or not a job offers at least some opportunities to work from home when making a decision about an offer of employment. Finally, there’s even some talk of factoring in commute times as hours worked<\/a> to offset the significant amount of time that some employees spend in transit. Most working parents know that there are days when our children are sick and we need to stay home with them while they recover. Often, these are situations when we can still squeeze in some productive hours while our children sleep, watch Netflix, or play video games. In so many ways, it’s truly a win-win. When employers don’t permit working from home then these become lost hours that are difficult to recover.<\/p>\n

\"working<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Atmosphere\/Ambiance: <\/strong>Home sweet home. There\u2019s something satisfying about working in a comfortable environment. Unfortunately, many of our workplaces can sometimes feel like claustrophobic, windowless cages with unflattering lights above our heads. I hear complaints all the time that employees feel cramped in uncomfortable cubicles, bombarded by endless chatter from rows of co-workers. The air can be stale, (not too mention the workplace hazards during cold and flu season). The consequences of straining to block out distractions and recover from interruptions include headaches, fatigue, and irritability. Working from home is a great way to avoid toxic co-workers<\/a> and bullying<\/a>\/harassment<\/a> which occurs in far too many organizations.<\/p>\n
