Work + volunteerism

• Outline one advantage and of remote working for employees

  • Work from anywhere and anytime, not limited by a certain location or time.
  • No daily commute: can avoid long journeys by car, train, or bus (avoid traffic), which allows the worker to start their workday earlier and calmer.
• Disadvantages of remote working

  • Need for high self-discipline. It takes a lot of dedication and self-control to work

  at home and not succumb to distractions.

  • Lack of workplace social life. Using technology is not the same as face-to-face meetings, lunching together or just everyday banter. Remote workers often feel isolated.
  • Total dependency on technology. Have to rely on email, smart phones, laptop, etc. to stay in contact with the office and clients.
