答案 My Views on Working from Home With traffic jam deteriorating in urban life, the work-from-home policy has attracted increasing attention of the public. Some sing high praise of its advantages, regarding it as a savior for daily commuters, whereas others insist that the scheme might pose a latent threat to team spirit. As for me, this policy is a double-edged sword: if implemented wisely, it can tremendously raise employees’ work efficiency and promote companies’ development; if not, it will do more harm than good to both employees and companies. On the one hand, the benefits of working from home could be easily seen. Firstly, remote working policies can help reduce traffic congestion, thus not only saving employees’ time and energy to improve work efficiency for the company, but also relieving traffic pressure for the society and diminishing environmental pollution. Secondly, the new policy provides employees with more flexibility to allocate their time, which will be particularly welcomed by those working parents who need to make a balance between taking care of their kids and fulfilling job responsibilities. Thirdly, working at home, employees can surely enjoy more relaxation with comparably less work pressure; hence they might exhibit more creativity in their jobs, for inspirations are prone to knock at a loose door. On the other hand, the drawbacks of the work-from-home mode should never be underestimated. First, short of face-to-face communication, teamwork can barely be nurtured under this work mode, while teamwork spirit is one of the most crucial driving forces for the enterprise’s sustainable growth. Second, with too many distractions at home, such as housework, children and even pets, many employees cannot concentrate on their jobs, not to mention efficiency improvement. Third, this work pattern makes it quite difficult for companies to monitor and evaluate their employees’ performance, which would definitely inhibit their development in the long run. In view of the merits and demerits mentioned above, the remote working policy needs to be exploited cautiously. Generally, job nature has a say in whether this new work mode is suitable or not. For those highly technical jobs, like designers and network engineers, such a policy may be applicable, while for those positions responsible for management and communication, it may not be plausible. In some cases, people can make a combination of working from home and at office. All in all, working from home has both advantages and disadvantages, and the key always lies in how to make the best use of it.
