TASK TWO

using modern technology to work at home benefits workers only, but not employers. To what extent do you agree or disagree？

In presen-day society,working is not restricted to office ,home also become workplace due to the staggering advancement of technology.However,some employers claim that this way cannot bring much benefits to them .Personnally,i am not favor with this opinion .in the following ,i will try to analyze how both employees and employers can profit from working at home.

Without a doubt,some advantages can be brought from working at household to employees.Flexibility,obviously,is the first crucial element which attracts the emloyees to work at home.people can choose the suitable time to work in a day .without the time limitation ,employees would tend to finish the job more carefully and effectively.Hence,the second benefit should be mentioned is the efficiency.working at home ,which is more comfortable than office,workers absolutely would work more hard so as to show their thanks and appreciation to boss.therefore,employees can achieve more than who work in office.

Certainly, employers can also gain benefits from this creative working pattern. firstly,as i mentioned above,higher efficiency of employees can finally promote the sales and development of the company.performance of workers  is what a boss value the most.hence,if working at home can contribute to the  sales, company should satisfy the need of employees. what's more, working at home can also save a large sum of capital of company. The rent and the relevant expense ,such as electricity and water,can be saved totally.Hence ,more investment can be utilised on other aspects,contribuing to the competitive power of enterprise.

Therefore, as what i has been mentioned,i may draw a conclution that employees as well as employers can profit from working at home owing to its obvious merits.
