Benefits of being able work out of office

The company I work for is an international oil company which believes in work life balance and thereby allows staff to work out of office as and when. For that, I am forever grateful. So right now I am working in a Starbucks located in a bookstore. I have been working online for the last 4 hours, having worked in the office in the morning.



For me, working out of office is quite fruitful. I get to focus on my work without interruption and noise. The company has invested so much in IT that I can even go into our servers to obtain data for my work. And apart from emails, we have the internal instant messenger to know who is online and can contact any colleague instantly.
