Is working from home really smart?

Since the Coronavirus emergency began, most workers have had to organize themselves somehow to move their business at home. In this way, thanks to the digital tools, we continued to manage work and interact with colleagues through video calls and virtual "meeting rooms on rent in sector 63". Certainly not interrupting work during the lockdown was very important both for the economic realities and for the employees, but smart working within the home brings several disadvantages that cannot be ignored. So let's see what the "dark sides" of working from home are.

Dis-organization of spaces

Smart working, especially for women, and if you have children at home, inevitably leads to organizational confusion: you work on the sofa or at the kitchen table while preparing lunch or playing with your children. In this way you often lose concentration and perhaps even patience, with repercussions on both productivity and mood.

Disproportionate work-life balance

Although working from home allows you to integrate your home life with your job, creating a distinct separation between your career and personal life can also be difficult. You often lose the boundary between working hours and time for yourself. Work becomes a continuous thought, you end up sending emails at any time, actually worsening the quality of life and relationships with family members. It can also happen that employees, to demonstrate to their boss that they are productive at home and don't waste time, end up working much more than necessary, stressing themselves out unnecessarily.

Higher costs

Working from home means having to equip yourself with computers, printers, and various equipment, the prices of which have also increased in recent months. Not only that, smart working leads to an inevitable increase in various household consumption: electricity, water, gas, and heating.

Risk to productivity

Working from home might help you be more productive, but it can also be a struggle. With the freedom to travel around and take breaks whenever you feel like it, it may be tough to keep focused on the job at hand. This can eventually lead to poorer productivity.

 

Role of coworking space

Finding some of the negative aspects of working from home, we can certainly conclude that this is a solution to be adopted only in cases of emergency and absolute necessity, and it certainly cannot become normality in the working landscape.
