7 Proven Benefits of working from Home - IT Employees

Hey all lovely people! Welcome to my Blog. I know it’s a hectic week with your assignments & meetings lined up. So here I am an IT employee who now being benefitted with WFH as a result of this covid-19. Eventually the IT companies has been closed over the past few months & people who stayed in different parts of the city for work has gotten back to their homes. So now is the about time to have a comprehensive look at the real work from home benefits & see what is behind the popular job trend.

1) No Means to Commute

Back in my office job, it was our daily routine waking up early, preparing for bf, packing the boxes & rushing to catch our transport. With the effect of wfh there is no need to commute to get to office. No more crowded buses or trains & annoying traffic jams. Uhffffh!!! With all this we had to sacrifice our sleep time, dragging ourselves to bath & get ready. No time for yoga or cozy corner book time as our mind is full of pre-occupied thoughts. Oh yes! now we are all free from all of that. Bliss!

2) Save Time & Money

Of course, with the effect of wfh lot of us are packed with hectic work during the week. Still then our travel time & the efforts to get ready to office has been drastically reduced. With all of this we have gained all the time we missed being with our family running to office all day. We now have time to spend time for ourselves, many of us like me has set up their own side hustle. We have time to play with the kids at home, listen to Mumma talk, watch our favorite show in TV, pulled the yoga mat everyday & the lovely sibling times.

And yes, we are saving lot of money than we do before. We don’t need any more business attire, no big-budget restaurants, no theater, no mall, no rail tickets & still happy at the comfort of our homes.

3) Location Independence

One of the considerable benefits of working from home is having access to broad range to job that aren’t limited by geographical location. Remote workers can live as digital nomads peacefully in the comfort of their homes. We have the freedom to travel while at work mayn’t be during the pandemic, but it’s a definite perk as things begin to open up again. We can just travel where ever we want to & still have a career. Oh god! This is a pure bliss to just imagine.

In addition, remote work is a great way to avoid high-rent & high-mortgage areas like in a city with high cost of living. People are flexible to live anywhere & still have a loved career.

4) Being more productive

There is a big difference of being productive & being busy. While at office we were pre- occupied with a lot of schedules. Running here & there working on various engagements while desperately waiting for the weekend to arrive. And while working from home office, off-course we are being so productive than the busy office going days. We tend to take fewer sick leaves or permissions while at work, still take breaks at any time we want too.

During the past 6-8 months of wfh I have constantly observed that a work which takes 4 weeks to be completed ideally takes only 2-3 weeks to be signed-off. This proves people are more exuberant & dedicated towards their work, with very less to no escalation months.

5) Working in your pyjamas

We get to wear our super comfy pyjamas while working at home office. Yay! You heard me right. May it be hot or cold season I need not worry to choose my business attire for the next-day, I simply have to open my closet pick a favorite color pyjama and with a hot cup of coffee I am just good to kick start my day’s work. Off-course pyjamas make one feel really cool & composed during work.

6) Munch Time

Now to our favorite part of a workday, LUNCH! Yes, that one hour that makes you forget your troubles. You leave the office; you are a little stressed and feel that you need to reward yourself for all the hard work. You walk past a Pizza corner or dessert shop. What do we do? We go ahead and reward yourself with a soul filling appetite. Especially when all the restaurants serving the healthy food are overflowing already, or at least that is the excuse you give yourself.

When we are working from home, we have more control over what we consume. Fill our fridge with healthy food options and would have no excuse for not preparing our-self a healthy, hearty meal every day of the week that your body would thank you for later. Oh, and did we mention you would not have to follow a strict lunch timing? Eat when you’re hungry. Feels good right?

7) Customizable Home Office

Hurray! you get to design your own home office. How cool is that to even think off. You can put up your own vision board in place & have a visual treat to your eyes each new day. We actually can paint our favorite color to the walls & give our-self a good view serene & calm that motivates to work effectively. We also have the freedom to change the room decors when ever needed.
