One house: the pros and cons of telecommuting

The ability to work remotely is probably the biggest bonus that could get "hostages office with the development of Internet technologies. In Western countries, large corporations with large scale load of its employees working outside the office. In our country, this trend is only beginning to gain momentum. Moreover, it will be interesting to understand what are the positive aspects of such work, how to organize it and what are the pros of this work.


According to the forecast of the British centre for social research, by 2020 in the European countries, the majority of small and medium firms will be virtual. This means that all office activities will be carried out over the Internet, and employees of the companies will not be able to ride every day in the office.




But this is still in the future, today the opportunity to stay home the whole week can only certain categories of employees. Yes, and these few had to make a lot of effort to convince the administration that the house they will work no worse than in the office.




Many of us really want to work in a flexible schedule, but not all know what the pros and cons contains a remote form of labor, and so does she need really.





Working at home means less work?


The situation is exactly the opposite! Now have to work even more. The office staff may not conquer the peaks of efficiency and effectiveness, but in any case, though all are within view of the chef. Although it is unlikely that he will come to mind to check what they are doing, the mere presence of people at work, suggests that they work. And here at home, or in the free chart refers to the ability of rest from work, or, can be expressed as leaders to do nothing.




The request of an employee and put it on a free chart usually too happy about that. And this is understandable: the house you will be unable to constantly monitor! Therefore, offering his boss experiment with remote work, you should offer him ways to oversee your work. If you have taken the test already finished the whole report, you now might have to do it in parts.




And the question of time is any discrepancy between these terms will cause the head of a desire to bring you back into the workplace in the office.




Incidentally, if any of the reasons you want to work outside of the office is the desire of doing nothing or finding more time for home and domestic Affairs, it is likely that telecommuting will not bring you desired.




Alone




Now, finally you can work in the evenings or even at night if you want, and a day of walking, shopping and to the cinema, or just sleep. But most of the people you work during the day and rest at night. And, most likely, this part refer your friends and family. Spend time without them boring, isn't it? Moreover, although the workers of intellectual work are also those people who would be convenient to do their work remotely (in fact, to draw, to write comfortably at home) - they more than anyone need professional communication with colleagues, and, therefore, sometimes they need to be in the office. Moving the home office, you are not immune from danger "to keep up with life, to stop being aware of what is relevant in your company and the professional field.





Could I make?


You must have a strong character, so on their own when no one is forcing you, when the situation has a little to lie in bed, sit in front of the TV to force myself to sit down at work.




From the experience shows that to work from time to time, impermanent means to spoil your remote work. You need to make your own schedule and coordinate our actions with it. The positive point is that your schedule will take into account your wants and needs, but, nevertheless, it will still be the plan time limits.




Do I self-discipline? Would I sometimesbut yourself? I can do without colleagues and management? This is probably the most important questions you need to ask yourself.




If you answer positively, it could be time to offer this kind of labor graphics to your guide. No need to worry, if the supervisor is not immediately accept your terms. In practice, the remote work in our country is still not developed well enough and many chiefs not yet quite understand how beneficial it can be for their business. In this case, it makes sense to bring it to his chief example of the experience of other companies.
