A home office has become the norm today. We’ve helped more than one family set up a fully functional, soundproof workspace right in their own home. Of course, some remnants of the past, like an A4 sheet with "Do not enter! Dad is working" on the door, can still be found.
For many employees, this setup works — it all depends on the position, personality type, and lifestyle. In this case, it is the employer’s and HR's task to help create or provide comfortable conditions for remote work.
Some companies centrally purchase ergonomic chairs and desks for their employees. After all, you can work on a stool for a month or two, but three or four years — probably not.
A home office should help strike a balance between work and personal life.
