Craving for a Relaxed and More Flexible Workplace?
Earn the Salary you Deserve by working with
Remote Staff.
Below is a
list of advantages:
No need to commute
to work in the midst of traffic rush hour
and pollution
Though you need to wake
up earlier than most (Australia is three
hours ahead so you need to be online around
6 AM or 7 AM), you can easily manage by
waking up 5 minutes before your working
schedule. Just get online and you’re
officially present for the day. It doesn’t
get any more convenient than that.
You’re working
in the most relaxed environment that you
can ask for, your home
Everything is right in
your home, no worries about forgetting something.
No hassle of interacting with an annoying
co–worker. You are free to work in
your pajamas if you wanted to.
Enjoy a less stressful
working life and a more comfortable work
environment
You don’t need to
always ask permission from the boss to do
something. When a result is expected from
you, you utilize your own resources and
abilities to achieve it. You don’t
run around the office, asking your “superiors”
questions that have obvious answers. In
short, you’re the manager of yourself
when it comes to your work flow.
Working from home
gives you flexibility and more lifestyle
Efficient time and energy
management can easily integrate more activities
into your life. There’s more room
to explore your social life because you
will be less tired at the end of your working
day.
Save up to 20%
of your income working from home
No transportation expense,
less meal expense, no need to set aside
budget for office clothing. It all boils
down to saving a big part of your income.
Disadvantages remote contractor
can face
IF FACE TO FACE INTERACTION WITH
CO–WORKERS IS IMPORTANT FOR YOU, WORKING
FROM HOME MAY NOT BE TO YOUR ADVANTAGE.
See the list of challenges you
might face when working from home:
Cocooned at home
spending hours just in front of the computer
Meeting people face to
face can bring about new ideas, improve
social skills, inspire and even develop
fresh relationships. If you are the type
who gets motivated with face to face competition,
home based job is not for you. But there
are many ways you could rejuvenate yourself
after a long day working from home, one
way is to pop out of your house for a simple
walk or a catch up with friends at the end
of each working day.
Working from home
does take more self responsibility
Some people that work from
home become less productive while others
increase their productivity. This mainly
depends on your own willingness to take
ownership of what you do at work. Keeping
an open mind to accept and embrace change
when working from home is one thing, you
will quickly learn that the choices you
make, your ability to respond and solve
problems become critical to keeping your
job.
Television, kids,
pets can make one lose focus on work and
become complacent
The tendency to push back
workload to the end of the day is highly
probable and a big risk when working form
home if you don’t have discipline.
You will need to take on inner discipline
and learn to work with priorities. To sum
up, priorities on your TO DO LIST come first,
not last at the end of each day.
Technology meltdown
Slow internet connections,
phone lines that drop, power interruption
and computer crashes can happen. Since home
based work is almost always technology dependent,
no internet means no work.
