Work from Home in an IT Company

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.
