from home, or then focus on other tasks.

and can better ones overall mood and be more focused and less stressed.

Work and family can come first: People prefer working from home to spend more time with they
family and be there for their kids or spouse instead of the nights at the end of the day. This also
enhances family relations, making them stronger.

No more daily slog: Few things in life are despised more than the daily journey to and from work
and hence getting rid of travel costs (gas, transit) and freeing up between five and 15 hours per
week.
 PROBLEM:

Working from home can

limit person-to-person
communication which also
limits collaboration and
feedback.

SOLUTION:
• Having mandatory in-office
days or to have certain
days for team-building
activities.
• There are also other
mediums like Skype, Face
Time, and Email to discuss
issues.
PROBLEM:

Businesses can be left

vulnerable as their data is
taken out of the office and
also security reasons.

all network protocols at
their workplace and can
have access to the
employees screens.
