The traditional office environment is no longer the sole domain of productivity. Starting with a global pandemic, the rise of remote work, also known as working from home (WFH), has transformed the way many people approach their careers. But beyond the convenience of ditching the commute, what are the real benefits of working from home?
The start of the school holidays gives us to the perfect opportunity to dive into the top advantages of WFH, exploring how it can positively impact your work-life balance, well-being, and even productivity.
Most of us are balancing multiple schedules from work, friends, children, personal appointments. WFH can be the perfect way to introduce some flexibility in to these schedules. Structure your workday around personal commitments, errands, or even exercise routines, leading to a better balance between work and life. Working from home eliminates the daily commute, freeing up valuable time and reducing overall stress levels. Imagine arriving at work in your dedicated garden office, only moments after leaving home! No more crowded trains or the stressful traffic jams. The ability to work in a comfortable and familiar environment can significantly improve your overall well-being. Personalise your workspace to optimise comfort and reduce distractions.
Office environments can be filled with distractions, from ringing phones to impromptu meetings. A home office can provide a quieter, more focused environment, potentially leading to increased productivity. Some people thrive in the morning, while others find their focus peaks in the afternoon. A WFH environment allows you to structure your workday around your natural energy levels, potentially leading to improved performance. Eliminate the commute and introduce a more flexible work environment resulting in lower stress levels. Reduced stress can have a positive impact on focus, creativity, and overall well-being.
With all of that said, there may be drawbacks also. If you don’t have the right set up then it’s easy to become disorganised and start to miss the ‘sanctuary’ of the office. If all you have is a laptop at the kitchen table then the critical boundary between work and home will soon be compromised, with every likelihood that all you’ll achieve is a work / life breakdown. If you are substituting the distractions of the office with the potentially more anxiety provoking distractions of family life then you are unlikely to achieve the many benefits of WFH. Work clutter all around, an inability to switch off and failing tech are just some examples of where it can all go wrong.
