　　Working from Home

　　Certain companies, especially some small-scalebusinesses, start to encourage their staff to work from home or use home as ￡t workingbase for at least part of the week nowadays. Some offer some form of remote workingsupport to their work-forces, such as equipping them with laptops and installing broadband,and others pay for the telephone bills for these workers.

　　This work pattern is popular because it’s clear that there are a number of benefits forthese companies. First, it helps retain employees, especially highly- qualified working parentswith childcare responsibilities. Second, it brings higher productivity because the employeeshave fewer interruptions and less communicating time. Last but not least it offers savings onpremises and other facilities.

　　However, there are some potential drawbacks. For one thing, there is difficulty of managinghome workers and monitoring their performance and difficulty of maintaining staffdevelopment and upgrading skills. For another, it may create a sense of isolation among homeworkers and it can be harder to maintain team spirit. Therefore, enterprises should weigh thepros and cons before permitting their employees to work at home.
