In these times where the entire world has been brought down to its knees
and everyone is sequestered in their homes, work from home has been a
lifesaver for many.
Nevertheless, there is a flip side as well and let’s first
explore both of them.
The productivity and efficiency of an employee increases manifolds, no
time is lost in commuting and one works with a fresh state of mind, setting
the seal on a better quality of output.
There are gains for the company as well. It saves a huge amount of greens
in terms of electricity bills, food expenditure and also creates an elbow
room to divert funds into more beneficial investments.
Not only this, work from home is favourable for the environment too. Fewer
people commute to the office reducing the traffic and, hence, lowering
pollution levels. This, in the long term, leads to a healthier society that
coexists with nature.
Likewise, it is also a terrific option for new mothers, for people with
disabilities and for those who struggle to travel to the workplace. The
company now has more options to hire from, becomes more inclusive
making the employee network more diverse and the company profile
extraordinary.
But there are two sides of every coin.
Work from home may lead to occasional burnouts as the worker may get
carried away and forget that all work and no play is also bad. Another
fallout is that anxiety issues related to business matters follows one into
their safely guarded shells.

Also social isolation in some cases may set in. Communication between
the workers may take a back seat bringing in a trust deficit.
All things considered, with its drawbacks, the bounty of work from home is
tremendous and holds something good, in plenty, for everyone.
