[seema]

Although working from home seems a better option always for women. However, there are some challenges that women have to face while working from home. Some of them include

Working from home limits social interactions. They get to interact with many people while they work in offices but this gets limited when working from home. This also hampers the work as it become monotonous and makes the work more tedious.

There is a need of maintaining self-discipline while working from home as it makes you your own boss.

Another disadvantage of working from home is lack of seriousness. People tend to take work from home less seriously and this hampers the productivity.

One of the biggest challenge of working from home is maintaining the balance between work and family.

Like every other thing, working from home also comes with some challenges along with advantages and these challenges can be overcomed easily by being more focused and dedicated.

Working from home needs a lot of patience and focus and this is the main challenge that is faced by most women who work from home. It becomes very hard to maintain a balance between both family and work as both needs time and while in the process of maintaining this balance the woman faces a lot of stress and as a result she cannot do justice to both. In my opinion, working from home is more challenging than working in offices.

I completely agree with you that work from home is more challenging as compared to other jobs. The biggest challenge in my view is that it requires to maintain self discipline, which is very hard for everyone. Since the work time is not fixed like a 9am to 5pm job, it is more painstaking and this is why it is important to have self discipline.

I agree with you on the fact that working from home lacks seriousness. People generally take working from home casually, which hampers the productivity as well as work. Working from home in my opinion is not a good decision if you do not take it seriously and do it as a time pass thing. The other challenges are as well there but this is a challenge that many working from home females face.
