Forget the Office : Let employees work at home. Your thoughts?

<p>With the advancement of technology nowadays, communication is already digital and the use of paper has been replaced with e-documents. Is it good to just abolish offices and everyone will just work at home? Is it going to be convenient and cost efficient? Or are we not ready yet for this idea?</p>

It won't work.

There are some jobs that can be done from home. But most of the jobs NO. There are many sources of distraction at home. There is no way to have a good grip on performance and monitor activities.

Besides, you will loose the team workt, team spirit and of course the learning process between employees will fanish.

I love the idea of being able to work from home but some jobs need your physical presence at the workplace, field or office.

This is not applicable to all jobs I believe . The advancement in technology has very positive sides it's true but going to office every day ensures face to face communication and team solidarity feelings . We , human beings , are not machines .  We need to get together  and exchange ideas face to face . A communication process without voice tone , eye contact and facial expressions is very insufficient I believe  .

I think that doing a perfect job is not a matter of the work place it's a matter of how to carry on your tasks in an effecient and a professional way.
