In today's office workplace, believe it or not, employees can encounter more distractions than at home. Whether it be watching Youtube videos, taking a smoke break, or simply chatting with co-workers, the office workplace can present many ways to kill those long hours. But I bet your thinking "some of those distractions can be at home, as well". Most employees aren't as tempted to 'goof off' when working at home.
Employees will give their employers as much time as they're willing to pay for. This doesn't mean they have to be efficient with that time. Most office hours are from 8am to 5pm, taking away the half-to-an-hour long lunch, that gives the person eight hours to attend to their assignments. Finishing assignments quickly, only results in having to start another task. Not really giving the person much incentive in maximizing performance. And I won't even mention the frequent office politics, constant meetings, interruptions, and information overload that you only encounter in the office.
Working at home however, there's a less pressured environment, not to mention the comfort-ability. No co-workers around to bug or bug you, no meetings, no politics, just you and your
computer. And with applications that
cloud computing can offer, working from home could never be easier.
