My Opinions on Remote Working These years have seen a trend of remote working policies emerging in many companies, which is of good benefit for employers as they can recruit more excellent employees regardless of the geographic restriction, reduce the cost spent on office utilities, as well as promote productivity by saving the commuting time. Similarly, some employees also support this new policy, as it keeps their lives private while improving their working efficiency by getting rid of distractions from the regular office. Whereas, other employees believe that the effect of remote working depends highly on personal preference. As for me, remote working is a coin of two sides that brings both positive and negative effects. From the perspective of productivity, employees are able to concentrate more on their work with a light mood since a comfortable and relaxing environment is provided. Additionally, by working at home, they are privileged from bearing the rush commuting hours every day, which endows them with at least half hour’s sleeping as a supplement of energy. Having better mental and physical conditions, employees may feel easier to devote themselves to work. Nevertheless, since remote working exempts employees from going to office, there is a small chance for them to contact with each other face to face, and therefore when they are suffering from lots of pressure, they may probably not able to find someone to chat, which serves as a way of releasing pressure in the regular office. Moreover, as employees only need to stare at computer screen, the relations among colleagues may be too loose to build a teamwork spirit. To sum up, there are both positive and negative side of remote working and benefits should be weighted before one taking up this new mode of working.
