With the support of communication technologies, working at home is feasible and adopted as a flexible alternative by some companies in American and European countries. While this new trend has attracted many people including employees and employers as well, the negative impacts are looming.
At the first glance, telecommuting is very attractive for employees. They are relieved of exhausting commute to workplace at rush hours, and are allowed to arrange their timing at their convenience, thereby making work/life balance achievable. Physical presence at home especially means much for parents and carers of the elderly and the sick family members. Another obvious benefit is that home workers are not restricted to living in a particular city, such as Beijing China, where the environment can be heavily polluted or the housing prices abnormally high. Instead, they gain more freedom to choose their favorable lifestyle. On top of the increasing freedom and flexibility, both employees and employers benefit from teleworking in financial terms. Travel fare, fuel, parking, formal clothes are excluded and less expense occurs in office, such as rent, bills, incidental cost and so on.
However, teleworkers tend to complain about their isolation and depression due to lack of social life which plays a more significant role for human beings than we expect. The loss of sense of belonging can lead to psychological conditions, decreasing job satisfaction and loyalty to a company. Even though telecommuters do talk with their boss and coworkers, they talk on phone or on computer. Such way of interaction eliminates most of non-word information, such as body gesture, facial expression and eye contact, which directly leads to poor cooperation and industrial relation. In addition, working from home requires a high level of self-discipline and without this, working productivity would decrease due to the distraction of house chores and an abundance of internet resources.
To conclude, employees working at home may gain more flexibility, but they are more likely to find themselves losing connection with the society and cannot concentrate on work as they initially hope to. My view is that whether this working fashion functions well depends on the worker and the type of his or her job. If the worker can tune in well and the job can be accomplished individually, for instance, freelance writing or computer programming, then inconsecutive telework may be an optimal option. Otherwise, it should not be encouraged.
