Přínosy a nevýhody práce na dálku z pohledu zaměstnanců a managementu ve vybrané společnosti

This bachelor thesis focuses on the benefits and drawback of home-office from the perspective of both managers and employees in an international advertising company McCANN Prague. A successful implementation of this working model depends on the frequency of use, approach of managers, individual employee characteristics and on the type of work. This thesis examines the impact of home office on employee productivity, work-life balance, mental health and relationship with coworkers. It also examines how it affects team leadership, control, maintaining corporate culture and communication. The aim of this thesis was to identify the main benefits and drawbacks of home office based on quantitative research in a form of questionnaire which was distributed at the company McCANN Prague. The results suggest that the biggest advantages of home-office are time saved due to less commuting, flexibility and greater employee autonomy. On the other hand, the biggest drawbacks seem to be limited contact with colleagues, ineffective communication and limited exchange of informations and ideas. The results also show that both managers and employees prefer combining home-office and working from the regular office.
