Would you rather work from home or go into the office? | The Tylt

Working from home means you save tons of time commuting and maintaining your personal hygiene.

All joking aside, for parents, people with disabilities, and workers coping with illness or caretaking, being allowed to work from home is a lifesaver. Many say in 2018, employees should be put in charge of their own schedules.

Who cares where they sit as long as they get their work done?  Forcing people to go into offices isn't just inconvenient, it's inhumane.

Letting people work remotely and manage their own schedules is also a way for companies to attract the best talent.

But many namebrand companies are bringing their remote workers back on site, arguing that the group dynamic spurs camaraderie, team-building, and innovation.

Studies show that people who work at home are significantly more productive but less innovative, said John Sullivan, a professor of management at San Francisco State University .
“If you want innovation, then you need interaction,” he said. “If you want productivity, then you want people working from home.”

 “Some of the best decisions and insights come from hallway and cafeteria discussions, meeting new people and impromptu team meetings. Speed and quality are often sacrificed when we work from home.”
