Flexible work environmentLet us discuss about how we can flexibility in where we work ,when we work and in cases for whom we work for.
Fast world-We are part of a world where time is money.So ,every minute we are wasting is equal to the money we could have made in that time.All of us have to work for basic needs.In recent times,There has been a lot of noise regarding the flexibility in working environments ,time ,places and so on.The main concerns is that why waste time on trivial things ,As it can be used for productive
Time Zones-There are a lot of reason for flexibility in work environment ,and time zone is one of them.In the 21st century,we are connected across the globe,and we are working with people across the globe as well.We can make it all work,But we still cannot control time or buy it,so we have to live with it as such.Flexible working hours and work from home environments will help you work better with associates across the globe,than worrying about the time and place.
Traffic-With the growth of economy,there has been an exponential increase in the amount of cars that are being let out on roads.This creates a hindrance for reaching a place at a certain point of time.There are people who commute for 2-3 hours a day between home and work. We can avoid these thing,If we utilise the work from home or flexible working hours to avoid the peak hours traffic.
Weather condition-As we already discussed,Time and climate are a few of the things that we as mankind cannot control,But it shouldn't stop from working.It may be raining or snowing outside,But we still have to complete the tasks for that day.This where flexible work environments are of great help.
Work from homeAs there are two sides to everything,so is for work from home
PROS
Familiar environment-We get to work from the most familiar environment ,that is our home.we are spared the effort of adjusting ourselves to the work environment ,work table or unpleasant colleagues as neighbours
Spend more time with family members-If there are toddlers or old people at home,then we get to spend more quality time with them.We can take care of them in case of any health issues,rather than sitting in office and not being able to concentrate in work.
Sorting the house chores-We have moved most of our stuff to the digital platform,But there are still house chores that have to catered to
CONS
No fixed Timings-When we are working from home we tend to procrastinate a lot.We might end up consuming more time for the same task ,thereby extending our working hours.If we do not work diligently,Then this contradicts the purpose of working from home,as we would still miss out on quality time.
Dependency-There is one major disadvantage of flexibility is that in case if it is a critical issue,and you are at home,the you might have to take a look irrespective of the day and time.
Time Management-If we get used to the habit of working at our own comfort,Then we might go a little easy on time management.
Personal life-The biggest advantage of working at our convenience is that,we can spend a lot of quality time with our family and friends.We can also spend it on some our hobbies or passion.
