PROS AND CONS OF TELEWOKING
A lot of people live outside a city center and travel to work there everyday. They are called commuters and their activity is known as commuting. One more form of working is telecommuting. Telecommuting is a term for work that can be done at a distance, usually with the use of information and communications technologies. There are several forms of telecommuting: working from home using computers, term-time only contracts, videoconferencing and teleconferencing. The main benefit of the growth of telecommuting is an improved lifestyle for all people. Local employers report that they are exploring the use of telecommuting for five main reasons: to reduce costs, to provide uninterrupted thinking time, and to comply with environmental regulations. Telecommuting is more productive, gives more leisure time, more education, less pollution, and a healthier and wealthier society. It’s a fact that all the hours saved from repetitive commuting are equivalent to 30 working days per annum. In addition, telecommuting can allow you to fit more staff into the same space. International evidence shows that more flexible working arrangements lead to higher productivity. But telecommuting also benefits employees. But there are several reasons why telecommuting hasn’t become the major tendency. Managers are often nervous when they leave their staff out of sight of the office. For the telecommuters working from home might bring unforeseen hazards. Moreover, some workers don’t want to lose the isolation they get while commuting.
