Ever hear the saying, “Work smarter, not harder?” Well, according to a survey published by the employment service, Kelly Services, we’re doing a bit of both.
The overwhelming majority of the persons interviewed in the survey say that technology has improved their efficiency at the workplace, but at least one third of those surveyed are now working longer hours. This is because mobile technology like laptops enables people to work at home as well as the office.
Despite the longer hours, most of the people surveyed were happy with the balance of their work hours/personal life.
The ability to work remotely — whether from home or elsewhere — instead of reporting to an office is becoming an important factor to potential employees when they choose a company to work for.
With today’s “green” focus and municipal challenges to cut down on smog and traffic, I personally think we will see more opportunities to work from home, particularly if governments give companies incentives to reduce their employees’ driving. Some companies are switching to a 10-hour-a-day, four day workweek. That is not always possible, though. It might be more efficient to allow employees to report to the office four days a week and work the other day at home. Online teleconferencing, document sharing and other technologies are creating opportunities that are changing the face of the workplace. Of course, there will always be jobs that cannot be done from home, but when it comes to office work, I do believe that we will see an ongoing trend toward telecommuting.
For those who work longer hours, if they can work from home, they still have a chance to see their kids and spouses and get their projects done.

I actually prefer working out on the field or in an office. I mean, at home, there’s just lots of temptations that can make one lazy or procrastinate. At least if the employee is at the office, he can’t slack off because he knows that the boss is watching.
work harder equal no social life, no hollidays, only work.
This is quite interesting. It gives valuable advices about our work. We should work smartly rather hardly. We can use laptops which help us to work at anytime,anywhere.We should work hard in a way that we should get a positive result.
I prefer to work on my own home. I’m getting mad if I’m working on something and someone is disturbing me with phone calls or other things.
