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.

Contact Dr. Excellent love spells to return your ex-lover back.

Everything I’m going to suggest for you is what I’ve seen breathe new life into broken marriages for thousands of women in your distressing situation—and what I did to revitalize my own broken marriage. I was heart broken when my husband left me and moved to California to be with another woman. I felt my life was over and my kids thought they would never see their father again. I tried to be strong just for the kids but I could not control the pains that tormented my heart, my heart was filled with sorrows and pains because I was really in love with my husband. I have tried many options but he did not come back, until i met a friend that directed me to Dr. Excellent a spell caster, who helped me to bring back my husband after 11hours. Me and my husband are living happily together again, This man is powerful, Contact Dr. Excellent for any kind of spiritual problems or any kind of spell or relationship problems he is capable of making things right for you with no side effect.

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.
