Home office
Home office refers to a work practice where employees work from home instead of a traditional office or workplace.
In the home office, employees complete their tasks and projects remotely, usually with the help of computers, internet connections and communication tools.
Home office can be offered either as a regular work practice, where employees work from home permanently, or as an occasional option, depending on the requirements of the job and the agreements between employer and employee.
Benefits of working from home can include a better work-life balance, less commuting time, increased flexibility and autonomy, as well as potential cost savings for both employer and employee.
However, challenges can also arise such as work-life balance, team communication and the lack of a dedicated workspace .
Home office became particularly prevalent during the COVID-19 pandemic, when many companies encouraged their employees to work from home to contain the spread of the virus.
