\"working<\/a>Last week I wrote about some of the advantages of working from home<\/a>. With more virtual offices being created, and employees finding that they can easily remain productive on their work tasks from their personal domains it\u2019s easy to see that this could be the new way to work. In fact, over 40% of workers<\/a><\/u> now work from home at least part of the time. But, is it for everyone? Just as I\u2019ve suggested selecting compatible work with the same care<\/a><\/u> that we take when picking a mate\u00a0 I would strongly advise weighing both the pros of working from home<\/a><\/u> and also the cons.<\/p>\n

Five things that might happen if you decide to work from home<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

1) Laziness \/ Lower Productivity<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

I realize that some people truly detest hitting that 5:30 alarm clock to go through the routine of getting dressed for their commute to work. I also hear plenty of complaints about wearing dressier business attire on the job. In fact, people report that stiff collars, tight shoes, itchy nylons, constricting ties, and other work-friendly (or unfriendly) clothing can make them feel restrained and uncomfortable while trying to concentrate during their long work hours. On the flip side, sometimes working from home can lure a person into too much time in bed or lounging on the couch while remaining in their PJs\/robe. It can be difficult to switch gears when they aren\u2019t waking early, showering and gearing up for the outside world.<\/p>\n

While others are showered, dressed, primped, and sipping their Starbucks as they travel to work, mentally preparing for a meeting or upcoming project, a stay-at-home worker might just be getting the kettle on and not yet thinking about which assignment is due in a few hours. In my experience, some people really need to wear different hats for different roles, and sometimes when you’re working from home it can be hard to change into work mode without too many sluggish yawns and shuffles.<\/p>\n

2) Procrastination \u2026 when is now?<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Just like with laziness\/lower productivity, the potential risk of procrastination is significant. The two seem to go hand in hand most of the time. Once you get into the rut of not having to rush to get dressed in \u2018daytime clothes\u2019 or shower or even get out of bed until others (who don\u2019t work from home) are just arriving at their offices, procrastination can easily sneak its way into your daily life. Having unstructured time at home, rather than a set schedule in the office can quickly test one\u2019s self-discipline and overall productivity. Now, that isn\u2019t to say all people who work from home fall into this lazy\/procrastinating trap, but it can be difficult to avoid if you don\u2019t have a strict schedule and\/or rules to guard against it. If you catch yourself browsing social media, playing with the new kitten you just brought home, cleaning the windows, or taking\/making personal calls instead of sending an email to a colleague that starts the slippery slope toward postponing work tasks, neglecting responsibilities and missing deadlines.<\/p>\n

\"working<\/a>3) Distractions \u2026<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

It\u2019s hard to separate procrastination from distractions. In some ways, these two are like the chicken and egg concept; it\u2019s difficult for us to know which comes first, especially when we’re working from home. Distractions are everywhere, no matter where you go something is always attracting our attention. Our homes offer many disruptive and distracting things that can derail our work. If you have pets, children or live in a busy neighbourhood those aspects of your life can often interrupt your focus while at home. Even if the kids are in school working from home may cause you to stop to clean up their room, fold their laundry, or take a quick trip to the store to get more lunch food instead of doing that errand later. One friend of mine who works from home said:<\/p>\n

\u201cMy daughter\u2019s school is just across the street from our house, and the school knows I work from home, and I swear they call me often to come pick her up for the tiniest sniffle or complaint. They will often even call me to bring her an extra snack because she\u2019s hungry. I also think my kid realizes I\u2019m close by and not stuck in an office building so she feels I\u2019m more accessible than other parents during the day. Sometimes I get the feeling that people in general assume I\u2019m not as busy as they are so they will call me more to chat, or even to ask for favours.\u201d<\/p>\n

These are just some examples of the disadvantages and distractions that sometimes accompany working from home.<\/p>\n

4) Isolation\/Depression<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

\"working<\/a>Home sweet home isn\u2019t always as great without someone there to fill up the halls with laughter and rooms of chatter or smells of cooking in the kitchen. The ticking of a clock can almost become rude and more obvious if you spend each day inside your home \u2026 alone. For some this is bliss, but for others, the silence can become deafening. And if you are a social, outgoing person then staying home to work can suddenly make you feel very isolated<\/a>, which in turn can lead to feelings of depression. This is most true if you already live alone, because this may lead to days without much human interaction.\u00a0 You may find yourself also becoming too adjusted to being alone, and therefore, if and when you have to work or communicate with co-workers it may be a hard groove to get back into after a long period of isolation.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

5) Out of sight, out of mind?<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Being out of the work environment and staying at home to work, also means the potential of being overlooked when it comes to staying in the loop and access to promotions and other work-related opportunities.<\/p>\n

Imagine all the random client and business meetings you may have stumbled into just by being nearby where most of the informal networking and promotions of colleagues happens, and instead you are at home hunched at your computer alone every day. According to an article published by Randstad in early 2018, \u201cdespite better performance, remote workers are 50 percent less likely to receive performance-based promotions than traditional workplace employees.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Addendum – since publishing this blog article, the Globe and Mail published –\u00a0Remote work is here to stay, but companies must balance the pros and cons<\/a> (November 10, 2019) which may also enjoy reading.<\/span><\/p>\n
