  • Working From Home… Forever??

    Posted by lennoxconner on August 1, 2020 at 1:27 am

    Did everyone see that Twitter announced their employees will have the option to continue to work from home long after the pandemic is over?

    Like telehealth conferencing, I’m curious to see if this “new” practice is here to stay. I used quotations for ‘new’ because working from home isn’t some novel idea. But perhaps companies would be more open to it.

    This has actually been the case for my brother’s engineering company. They were adamant about keeping their office open but gave working from home a test run, and it has worked out much better than originally expected.

    Could this possibly be a great advantage to the disability community and finding work? What are your thoughts?

    I’ve always worked from home. It’s a great option and I’m glad to see that companies are seeing the value of it as well. As long as productivity levels remain consistent I can’t see why this wouldn’t be an option long term. In fact I can see it offering companies a larger pool of employees to choose from as well, so win win from my perspective.

    I’ve always worked from home as well. I definitely think this is a huge step in the right direction for employment opportunities in the disability community. It’s just a little discouraging that it took a pandemic to show that working from home is a viable and accessible option for us.
