Ways of work are changing with advancement in technology. Distant workers are growing day by day with modifications in working styles. Social behaviors and attitudes change in line with work life of people.
Firstly, internet working will increase accessibility. Now, with the use of internet people have more access to international markets than ever before. Recently, I came across a story of a friend, who started his software house while he was studying in university. He told me that, his business grew rapidly as soon as he started searching for clients in online markets. Moreover, he is currently working with clients from five (5) different countries of the world, where he never visited physically and all of this is a blessing of internet.
Secondly, flexible working hours is a great advantage of home working. People may work at any time they want, it is not necessary to get ready for office in the morning and follow stringent office timings. This will allow people to spend more time with their families and work when they find it suitable.
Thirdly, cost effectiveness may also be achieved with telecommuting like savings in utilities cost. With increasing population in metropolitan cities building rents are getting higher, employers will need less space to accommodate their employees, as many of them will be working from home. In addition to this consumption of other utilities will also reduce.
Lastly, there will be teamwork with increased use of technology and workers would be more connected. I am working with a global organization which have offices in more than 120 countries of the world and there are certain issues upon which we need to consult with peers working in Europe or other parts of the globe. Now, this has become very easy to seek opinion and share information with the use of multiple applications available on the internet and our organizational servers. Moreover, further advancement is also expected in this regard, which will take the teamwork at the highest levels.
In a nutshell, modern ways of working which include distance and home working will have profoundly positive impacts on economy and social behaviors.
