This document discusses the debate around teleworking or working from home. While some argue it increases productivity and work-life balance, others believe it reduces collaboration and oversight. Some companies have banned it outright due to concerns that it leads to less output and focus. However, teleworking is on the rise in the UK and US as broadband access has expanded. Risks include isolation, longer hours worked without extra pay, and difficulty separating work from personal life.
