As many of you know, technological advances have enabled us to eliminate physical work location as a limitation to getting our work done. Many people have the wonderful privilege of working from home occasionally or regularly. This is an enormous perk which allows people to get their work done more efficiently. One of the big advantages is having less interruptions and more quiet time to concentrate on the task at hand. A couple of drawbacks are that you tend to work longer hours and you miss out on the face-to-face interactions with your co-workers. Since virtual work increases productivity and loyalty, employers may find that it helps to retain high performing employees.
What do you think? Are virtual work environments good for employees and employers??

While I enjoy the social aspects of working in an office, I find that for large projects and/or tasks that require my undivided attention, working from home usually is a better option.
I agree, I also enjoy the social aspects of the office; however, the constant interruptions can be very distracting when you are trying to concentrate or working on critical deadlines.
