Home Office vs Traditional Office
For decades people used to work only in offices, except for people who need to move around. By now things have changed, people work in offices, they use hybrid work option or they work from home offices. As always everything has its pros and cons.
Traditional offices. There are still some companies that only work from offices. The advantages of working from the office are definitely that it is easier to cooperate and communicate with colleagues. Management also has a better overview of employee productivity and it is easier to notice things that need to be improved and made more efficient. For many people, working with others is motivating and makes them feel good.
The disadvantages of working from the office are that many things can distract you from working, different meetings, conversations with colleagues, coffee breaks, and so on. And, of course, the cost of renting and managing office spaces can be quite a hefty amount for businesses.
Working from the office is the best option if the company has a lot of customer meetings and teamwork plays a big role. Some companies attract both customers and employees with their excellent office space located in popular areas.
Home office. When working remotely, you do not need office space, you need a comfortable desk and chair in your home. In many cases, this allows you to plan your working hours and save time on commuting. The big advantage of a home office is that companies can save a lot of money on renting and managing office space. Various studies have also shown that employees are much more productive when working from home.
Working from a home office also has its cons, not all people are motivated to work from home, in which case the company has no control over productivity and distractions. Quite often, for example, the home Internet is not stable and can cause problems. In addition, cooperation and communication between people are limited.
Remote work is the best option for those businesses that need to cut costs and are confident that their people can work efficiently from their home offices.
