Do you think that more companies will allow employees to work from home instead of in the office in the future?
今後、従業員がオフィスではなく自宅で仕事をすることを認める企業が増えると思いますか?
POSITIVE（肯定的）
I think that more companies will encourage remote working in the future for these two reasons.
First, by adopting remote work, employees will have more flexibility in the way they work. A new way of working that is not tied to time, and place will improve their work-life balance.
Second, companies can significantly reduce labor costs, including transportation and company housing allowances. The reduced money can be used for new projects or to hire new employees.
For these two reasons, I think that more companies will encourage remote working in the future for these two reasons.
I don’t think that more companies will encourage remote working in the future for these two reasons.
First, collaborating with only a computer screen and no face-to-face interaction can weaken the relationship between workers. Without enough communication, tasks cannot be completed effectively.
Second, the company would have difficulties in confirming if employees are actually engaged in work. This could lead to low morale among employees resulting in less productivity.
For these two reasons, I don’t think that more companies will encourage remote working in the future for these two reasons.
