Working remotely is good both for the company and the employees. The company does not have to own, lease or maintain an office space and other associated facilities. Hence, it saves them a lot of hassle and costs. Employees, on the other hand, do not have to commute and save time and energy. Working from home also ensures a better work-life balance for many- especially women. This leads to better job satisfaction overall.  With rising real estate costs, traffic delays, cost of commute and climate change manifesting in serious ways, ultimately many  businesses have to consider work from home as a default, or at least part-time option for their operations.
