Home Working

Between 2001 and 2005 the UK saw a 150% rise in home workers as now 1 in 8 of us work from home as a base rather than an office.
Most of these workers are based in the South East where business property is expensive and commuting is slow. "The benefits of working from home, even occasionally, are now widely accepted," said Phil Flaxton, chief executive of Work Wise UK. "Not only does it reduce the amount of commuting people have to do, enhancing their work-life balance, but many are actually more productive."

Flexibility

Home working allows businesses to grow without the need to move. Employees who work from home don't have to be detached from the office. By using technology home workers can be in the office in all but person.

Attract and retain the best staff

After pay flexibility is the biggest motivator to change jobs. A recent Personnel Today survey found that 84% of people would change their jobs for a better work/life balance.

By allowing your staff to work from home you could dramatically reduce staff churn and recruitment costs while increasing productivity and loyalty.

VoIP

Voice over internet protocol, often shortened to VoIP allows employees to take an office phone home and still be connected to the office phone system. All calls made will show the caller ID of the office system and the office will still be able to see the presence of the home worker. eg If they are on the phone, on Do not disturb or have voicemail.
