Why Work From Office
In-person work fosters collaboration, effective communication, and a sense of community among team members. Face-to-face interactions promote spontaneous idea exchange, teamwork, and a deeper understanding of colleagues.
It enhances creativity, social connections, and workplace culture, contributing to a more engaged and motivated workforce. Personal interactions build trust and strengthen professional relationships, leading to increased productivity and job satisfaction.
The physical presence at the workplace facilitates immediate problem-solving and ensures a cohesive, collaborative work environment.
On the other hand, remote working fosters flexibility, work-life balance, health, and happiness. It gives employees the freedom to manage their work schedules and personal commitments more effectively.
However, some companies like tech giants have decided to put an end to the WFH option but Hybrid Working Models will continue.
