We are given preference in terms of everything in this world, including our work. There are some professional careers where we get to choose the workplace- either office or home. While working from the office, we experience the work culture of the company closely and feel motivated. But when we are working from home, we get to devote some extra time to work. However, the preference comparison between the two work cultures has taken a turn. Since 2020, the pandemic, when work shifted home and employee productivity became a cause of concern for the organisation. Let us check out the reasons given by the employees for their choice of workspace. Office Work We get to understand what it feels like to be in office culture. The office culture influences both the employee and the organisation. The organisations can see a growth in their revenue, net income, productivity, creativity and other factors. However, employees are constantly motivated, appreciated and encouraged for their work. Office work culture promotes engagement among colleagues that opens up different scopes for personal and professional development. We get to maintain a balance between work life and personal life. The fixed office hours are such that we are not working at the wee hours of the day. We might need to work a little extra to meet the deadlines, but this happens rarely. Office work timings allow us to invest time on ourselves, without thinking about work. The workspace quality is never compromised. The office environment is suitable for every kind of job. We get all the necessary pieces of equipment, including a cabin or cubicle, to work peacefully. It enhances our ability to connect socially. When interacting with our colleagues, we get to build relationships among ourselves. Social interaction is helpful because it gives us better exposure to ideas, opportunities and business values. Work from Home We get the independence to choose our work location. Remote working opens up tons of job opportunities irrespective of their geographic location. We can work sitting home and do desired jobs in metropolitan cities without stressing about huge monthly rents. It resolves the hustle of daily travelling. When we choose to work from home, we reduce the stress of daily travel, which eventually supports our mental and physical health. We can save extra money by cutting the cost of travel, food and others. Work from home comes with two-way benefits; even the organisation saves by cutting on electricity and other facilities. We have seen the benefits of both sides. Which do you think is more productive?
