Nowadays telecommuting is becoming more and more prevalent. A number of people believe that working from home brings a plethora of benefits for the employees, while others argue that it prevents employers from supervising their employees. In my opinion, I strongly agree that working remotely is advantageous for both employees and employers for several reasons.

First, telecommuting is beneficial for employers. They do not ought to spend too much money on overheads such as renting, cleaning, building maintenance, and so on. It also helps reduce absenteeism. If any employers feel a bit under the weather, they can continue their work at home, consequently the task will not be delayed.

On the other hand, working remotely is also an enormous boon for employees. Working from home provides them with flexibility and convenience. They no longer have to follow the 5-to-9 schedule as they can work whenever they want. If the employee is an early bird, he can work early in the morning. If he is a night owl, he may stay up late to complete this task. In addition, they can save much time when telecommuting. They do not need to go to the office on a daily basis, consequently they can save a large amount of time commuting to work. Furthermore, they do not waste time sitting in traffic or dealing with vehicular problems. Last but not least, employees can spend more time with their family, which strengthens their relationships.

In conclusion, notwithstanding a number of adverse effects, I believe that telecommuting should be encouraged to proliferate.
