Home and Office Makeovers, finding the right balance

July 22, 2011

Over the past few years, due to economic adjustments and gas price increases, there has been a dramatic increase in companies offering their employees the opportunity to telecommute.

 

Creating harmony in your work life

 
Telecommuting, simply put, is working from a remote location using computers, telephones, and other remote capabilities rather than commuting to and from an employer’s work site to perform the equivalent work. In 2008, nearly nine out of ten workers stated they now telecommute from home at least one work day a month. In the state of this economy people have reinvented their careeers starting businesses from home causing a flux in how their home office needs to function.
 
“We look at these statistics every once in a while and see the increase,” says Kathleen Lilleeng, owner of HomeandOfficeMakeovers.com, an Interior Designer San Diego company. “I think it’s great for business. There are a lot of people wanting to create a special place in their home for an office. They’ve probably been putting off the design of it for a while, but now that they are spending more time at home they need to find the right balance. They need a quiet, out of the way space where they can work in peace.”
 
There are many advantages to telecommuting such as; conserving energy, preserving the environment, enhancing family time, employee freedom, increases in productivity, and increases in long-term job satisfaction. Another great advantage is the available time to create a fantastic work space that represents the employee, and finding an interior designer San Diego company to help find the right balance is key to discovering a harmonious living and working environment.
