Employees who work from home are said to have higher job satisfaction and are less likely to leave than their colleagues working in the office. Well, many employers differ….
Employee collaboration goes for a toss
Working from home restricts employee collaboration and learning – employees collaborate a lot better, when they are on the work floor, across tables, meet in the corridor or catch-up over chai. Work from home confines this opportunity significantly. It does not allow employees to share ideas, which can be mutually beneficial. While you are at home, one tends to question their own productivity. Employees begin to introspect, dwelling on whether they are truly attuned to the work at hand. In fact, they may be easily distracted by television or family chatter that could lead to poor performance levels. Working from home can hamper speed and quality is sacrificed. The employee’s ability to give his/her 100 per cent can be compromised due to other familial obligations.
