Last week I requested my manager for allow me to work from
home and company made all arrangement required to work from home. I have mixed of experience from my first work
from home incident. I would like to
share with you what are my observations about working from home in an IT
company.
Technology - Since work from home (WFH) is depended on
technology in an IT Company. You must a
high speed internet connection to work if you are working in an online
application. If you are working as a programmer normal internet connection will
work in this case because most the unit testing can be done my programmer on
Local host.
If you are having a limited speed
and you are required to work on a online application which requires high
bandwidth, Work from home is waste of time in that case.
Motivation – WFH can boost motivation in your employee,
because he or she can take care of child or family member while working from
home. In actual term he or she will do more work then they perform while
working form office premises.
Resource utilization – Company is able to save power and
other utility expenditure while employee is working from Home.
Responsibility – It give them sense of responsibility and
habit to work without being monitor by others. Also I make them ready to work
from other location or client location while they are work from home.
