Working From Home with Ticket to Work

Narrator:

If you're considering returning to work, or becoming employed for the first time, you might be 
curious about working from home. For many people with disabilities, working from home is an 
ideal situation that can provide the comfort and accommodations needed to thrive in any job.

The good news is that working from home is  becoming increasingly popular and accepted. 
Today, 41% of workers are either fully remote or working a hybrid schedule'and that number is 
expected to continue rising. With so many new options, it may be a good time to think about 
whether working from home could be right for you.

The Ticket to Work Program can help you consider the possibilities. Advantages of working from 
home may include:

* Removes the need to find transportation

* Makes it easier to manage your medical needs 

* Provides a less stressful work environment 

* Gives you opportunities in different fields of work.


Some other benefits include:

* Increased productivity

* Saving time and money on commute and wardrobe

* Remote meetings allow more flexibility for teams of all sizes to come together easily and 
efficiently.


However, while work from home is a great option for many people, it is worth considering some 
of the potential drawbacks, such as:

* Missing the social aspects of working in-person

* Difficulty separating work and home life

* And purchasing supplies for your home office
