5 Advantages of Working From Home

 If you are considering whether to start working from home then here are some of the advantages to doing so. In this article I am going to go through some of the most common reasons why people decide to work from home. 

More Flexibility
Working from home means that time is under your control and therefore you have far more flexibility as to how you manage that time. This means that you can start work earlier or later so that it can fit in around your family commitments such as taking your children to school. 

Costs of Travel
Having to travel to work whether that means going in the car or taking the train adds a large cost to your monthly out goings. You might even have to pay for car parking too. Therefore working from home means that you save a large amount of money every month in terms of travelling expenses. There is also the added benefit of it being far more environmentally friendly. 

Childcare
If you have children then working from home makes life so much easier. It means that you are available during school holidays and should your child become ill at any point you are able to be at home to look after them. Obviously you will have work commitments and tasks that you need to complete while your children are at home but providing you make it clear that there are certain times during the day whereby you need to work and not be disturbed it can work very well. 

Less Stress
Having the freedom to be at home while you work is also far less stressful. You can get things done in the way that works best for you without other people interrupting or breathing down your neck while you work. As a parent one of the things that I have found most helpful is being able to look after my child if I need to at short notice. When working in an office and within minutes of arriving you get a phone call from the school to say your child is unwell it becomes very embarrassing to have to explain that you need to go and cannot work that particular day. 

Freedom
Managing your own time and deciding when you want to have lunch or if you want to work a shorter or longer day makes your life far easier. Having the freedom to take an afternoon off to go to a sports day event without having to negotiate just helps to make life that much simpler.
