Why telework? What are the advantages and disadvantages of teleworking?
2020 was the year of teleworking and came without warning. After the state of the pandemic due to the covid-19 declared around the world, we lock ourselves in the house and try to continue to lubricate the great work wheel through new challenges.
This was the anteroom for the year 2021 when teleworking became the norm and perhaps will continue to be so for a long time in certain sectors. Bill Gates also thinks the same: “More than 50% of business travel and more than 30% of office work will disappear in 2021,” said the owner of Microsoft in early January.
Working from home is the trend and you should take advantage of all its qualities to adapt to this situation. How? Empowering your best skills according to demand and opting for a job with the possibility of working from your room, your garden or even from another country.
Advantages of working from home
Increased productivity
Working in an office brings together a team, but it also involves many distractions: imposed multitasking, unnecessary meetings and many “coffee breaks”. Working from home allows you to be responsible for your own time and organization, with all the good things that come with it.
Save time and money
Two hours on the bus to go to work … lots of expensive snacks at the corner cafeteria … According to APD executives, an employee can save up to 15% of his salary by working from home. Always, of course, depending on your situation, transportation and location.
Reconciling personal life
Saving commuting time also allows you to better reconcile your personal life: you can spend more time with your loved ones or have time to study this course you’ve always wanted. When you work and live in the same space, your personal goals are more achievable.
Disadvantages of teleworking
The physical space
One of the main problems of working at home for some professionals is the lack of means to adapt the home to the work space. In recent months, demand for computer equipment, desks and other allies for teleworking has skyrocketed. In this case, our advice is to differentiate spaces and consolidate a logical distribution: do not work in bed or eat on the computer.
Sedentary lifestyle
Eating more chips than usual, moving from your desk to the couch or watching more series than before. If you telecommute, it’s easy to start an increasingly recurring dynamic of sedentary lifestyles. In this case, we suggest that you adopt a routine and go out to play sports or even perform activities such as yoga at home to exercise your body and disconnect from work.
