It has been a year since most of the companies in the country shifted to a work-from-home (WFH) setup, and despite being the best alternative to stay safe while working, not everybody thinks it makes the best employment arrangement.
There are a lot of things and activities that are terribly missed when working in a physical office, but working at home has great perks as well. Carousell Philippines, the country’s leading online classified platform lists down 5 things that make working at home worth it.
First is being able to design your home office. In a WFH setup, you are your own boss — in designing your home office, at least — as you can arrange your workstation to your preferred style
You can also use the extra hours to do your favorite activities that you would only have time for during weekends. With your free time, you can also discover new hobbies and activities that you didn’t get the chance to do pre-pandemic.
Probably the best benefit to working from home is being closer to your family and having more time to bond with them. Employees who transitioned to working from home also get a break from Manila’s daily traffic congestion.
Finally, you can be more focused at your job within the safety of home. A WFH setup allows you to do your work tasks with more concentration, safely. Carousell Philippines general manager Raffy Montemayor says this is the most important pro when they decided to shift to this work arrangement.
“It is our mission to make buying and selling online more accessible for every Filipino, and do it safely not only for our customers but also for our employees who serve them.
Carousell Philippines is continuing its 100% work from home setup the entire 2021 and will extend this to 2022 if needed, to continue providing for our customers’ needs while keeping in mind the safety of our employees,” explains Montemayor.
