Nicholas Bloom, a professor at Stanford University, was interested in the phenomenon of working from home, a particular mode of work that allows employees of a company to stay at home rather than going into space Of the employer's usual work. For Professor Nicholas Bloom, the fact that an employer obliges employees to come and work every day is an obsolete process. He believes that this behavior of the company belongs to the traditions set up during the Industrial Revolution and should no longer be topical. Such inflexibility, disregarding the current sophisticated means of communication and the difficulties associated with transport and the distances to be traveled, is harmful both for employees and for businesses.
