While working from home can be an attractive option for some, not all employees look forward to it due to the less than optimal working environment at home. This is true, for example, for parents with young children who have to multitask to meet the needs of their chidlren and job.
For those who have no dedicated workspace at home, the frequent distractions, noise and technical problems with the computer and Internet can be stressful, and stress, when it accumulates, can have an adverse effect on their mental health.
